Makes sense--newer cars run much leaner.
Re: the CO2. A good example of the 'law of unintended consequences.' Reduce
the HC and CO and increase the NOX--requiring a redesigned converter--and CO2.
Makes you wonder about 'global warming;' even if we're able to reduce CO2--not
likely, given that the Chinese, Indians, etc. aren't interested in cooperating
any more than Oakland is interested in cooperating with Berkeley--and in 20
years all the scientists with an agenda will be raising the threat of 'the new
ice age' (just like they did 20 years ago).
