I think it boils down to politicians 'trying' to write legislation about
vehicles when many of them probably have a difficult time putting gas into
their own cars. I venture to say that most legislators don't know or care
how an engine actually works, or what causes emissions and what doesn't.
My take: an engineer or a mechanic should write the wording in the law.
But, then, that idea may be too obvious!! ;-)
