With me working from home, my wife’ll be taking my gas-commuter more often so that we can reserve the Diesel for the things we bought it for...but still...
I drive my '15 every day 7 miles to work and 7 miles home and have had zero trouble with the DPF but we do use it for nearly all travel because I absolutely hate my wife's car... so it gets a good run on the highway on the weekends even if we're not camping..
