I've got a '78 Jeep J-10. Some years back, when NC was still making all vehicles undergo the sniffer test, the guy at the shop looked at me and said, "She might smoke a little when you startt her up, but she's burning cleaner than a new car." Yep, 360 AMC engine, with a two barrel carb, and nothing emissions wise but the old 'smog pump' and the emissions were less than those from a car 20 plus years newer with 4 times the EPA mandated crap. Granted it doesn't get the MPG's of the new cars, but if it burns twice as clean then I can use twice as much fuel and still break even.........
Another example. Got one customer that had a 30 year old dragline. It had a MP22 Murphy engine in it. The Murphy's have been around since the thirties and changed little since then. They side lined the old crane and bought a newer, used one. A year or so into using the newer crane Dad asked the operator how it was doing. His reply was that with the old crane he would burn 30-40 gallons of fuel per day and move x amount of yards of material. With the newer machine he was burning 130 to 140 gallons per day and moving maybe half as much material. Now you tell me which machine was more environmentally friendly.......
