But he will be replaced with a non citizen(or 3) that's not paying for their housing, medical, kids education or incarceration.


I would be interested to see what the actual trade offs are for a diesel getting 65mpg with the strict pollution requirement vs. a gas powered vehicle under the current pollution requirements getting 35mpg's.

But regardless. I think they should Apply some type of Emissions test on Diesel cars, they may be surprised.
Can anyone guess the % of pollution We are responsible for?

Exactly 100%.
I respect the effort to cut back on pollution that's for sure. I'm sure I'm not the only one that likes to breath.

Anyone know what the requirement differences in Colorado are between the Diesels and Gas and how well each meet that requirement?

Actually it's 3%, and of that 3% about 1% is automotive. sounds like we need better emission control

On topic.. I'm not sure in Colrado, but in NV they would dyno the diesels ans take a n02 reading where as gas they check c02
