2 Engine Exhaust System problem

Failure Date: 11/06/2013

My 2013 Dodge diesel consumes 1 gallon of def (diesel exhaust fluid ) every 85 miles while towing. The national average is about 1000mpg. It is using 10 times the average. It is very costly and dirty to fill the def tank. I'm adding to the environment multiple plastic 2 1/2 gallon jugs and the box they come in. The factory has no fix as of yet ,the dealer has been good with all the repairs except this. They are held back by the factory with a lack of information, I'm told. I have no idea what this is doing to my truck/engine or the environment it is supposed to help.
