Re: [Chrysler300] Gas chemistry

[Ray Jones <hurst300@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The real secret is that the Tree Huggers and other environmental groups 
consist of 3 wacky Scientists , and thousands of rumor loving idiots. 
All  with good intentions, of course.
For 20 years we've had constant improvement in Auto emissions, until 
cars almost run on smog, but they still want more. It all hides the 
truth that the biggest producers are the power plants and other big 
industry. They, unlike you and me, contribute heavily to the political 
campaigns and there-by get waivers. Our gas just goes up.
A few years ago, Readers Digest had a story about power companies that 
sold unused emission credits. If  they didn't produce a certain 
chemical in their exhaust, they could sell that  to a plant that 
produced too much of that chemical, there-by averaging the emissions. 
This was also the basis of the CA junker buying campaign. Give you some 
money for your old broke car and get credit for the inflated amounts of 
emissions not produced by the car for the next 10 years. Then they just 
gave the Gov the credits instead of fixing their emission problem.
Sort of like Social Security, it's not going to run out of money, there 
is none, just IOU's for the money the Gov has spent for the last 30 
years.
