I haven't seen these stories, but I wasn't bothered by the tests.  They
did *nothing* during the test which wouldn't occur in day to day driving.
I suspect that people just aren't used to *standing* beside a car while
it "travels" at 80km/h.  The RPMs used for testing are well within the
spec range of any vehicle.

These may cause more pollution per litre of gas, but in the overall picture
their contribution to air polution is very small.  Mills of course aren't
normally grouped with motor vehicles :) and are covered under different
regulations.
