Can't speak to the bans, haven't been following them. Don't think Chevy would be putting money into research and promotions if they thought that was a risk though. Plus, not many of these are bought by city dwellers.
Chevy already sells the diesel on the Silverado as a $2,500 update (same price differential as getting the 6.1L flexfuel engine) on the top packages. The diesel also gets 23 city/29 Highway in the 4WD (higher in 2WD) so it's pretty efficient.
I'd probably end up with the gas one though because the diesel is all about torque at 277HP/460ftlb. I don't really tow anything so I'm more excited by the HP.
