Illegal levels of pollution in those European model diesels translates to more pollution per gallon burned but less pollution per mile driven. The distinction is political rather than useful. The government does not want more efficient cars. It wants NO personal cars.

Look it up. The Europeans are driving cars, some are GMs and Fords with diesels that get 50 to 80 miles per gallon but the pollution per gallon is higher than for comparable American gasoline powered cars and are by that reason excluded from the American market but they emit less pollution per mile driven because they drive many more miles per gallon.
