It's good to make a smaller footprint; we keep having more feet making them so we do need to be mindful.
Seems the EPA and those few powerful lobbiests that are beyond EPA keep pushing for some strange stuff, while letting other things go.
Tier 3 on Diesel engines greatly harmed mileage.
Tier 4 on Diesel engines greatly harmed reliability, affordability, and safety in rough use.
We didn't gain monumental cleaner air.
Perhaps a more measured, thoughtful, slower pace on cleaning up emissions would give us equal or better long term solutions.
Is their a their 5 coming, does it ban Diesel engines entirely, or double their cost again to achieve .5% better emissions?
Cost vs reward, I think we need to catch our breath a bit? And yes L chose that phrase on purpose.
I don't want to ban EPA, I want it run responsibly.
Technology does some good things. Care run 200,000 miles these days, used to be exciting to see one make 100,000 and it was shooting blue smoke and had 10 tune ups by then, now the 200,000 might have had one tune up and isn't burning much oil. That's great.
High tech emissions packages, esp the new stuff on diesel, needs to catch up some tho. We need that breather..... The emissions have been cleaned some, there isn't much to gain.
