This serves to point out that the 60's high performance and muscle cars 
weren't the big offenders with regard to air pollution. Their engines were 
fairly efficient and had good combustion characteristics, thats why they 
made a lot of power. They took the rap while the real offenders were the 
millions of six cylinders and low compression V-8's that powered grocery 
getters and family sedans.
