Regen…cleaning exhaust filter…what is really going on? How much fuel is being wasted (like I saw in another post)?

Regen is supposedly burning the soot collected in the exhaust filter. A regen does effect your mileage but I am not sure how much fuel it uses....

There was a short description in the supplementary Powerstroke manual. It said additional fuel is injected into 4 cylinders to raise the EGT to accomplish the burn. It will do this for 8 to 20 minutes. Not sure how much extra fuel, but I have noticed my instant fuel economy reading to drop from 14.5 tp 12.5 when driving around town.
