I have been woefully disappointed with some of the morons at our local emissions testing centers. I think some of them were rejects from the local Taco Bell. And I strongly suspect they couldn't tell the difference between a Ford 5.0 and an Evinrude outboard motor.

What I'm saying is, it could be right... but unless you are positive about this, you might have NOT informed anyone "better". This is the kind of hype that was makign people run around telling everyone that Freon 12 was "ILLEGAL" (add exclamation points for the emphatic way in which so many people were told that).

Someone needs to check up on this factually, with documentation. When I see the written word, I'm more inclined to believe it. It could be totally legitimate, but I've never seen that printed on any state emissions website, or pamphlet, or pretty much anywhere for that matter.

Additionally, I'm sure most people (especially people who don't live in areas with emissions inspections) could care less.
