So it doesn't get burned at all?! I guess I was thinking the EGR system.
So much smog crap, so long a time before it can come off.
Also, for those thinking of moving to California, especially the LA/OC area,
think again. Its a traffic nightmare. Worst in the nation - no kidding.
Housing is sky high too. You get 20 days to re-register your out of state
car (and drivers license) from the date of moving in, or first day of
employment - which ever is first or risk HUGE fines.
Here is the Calif. Vehicle code:
