When was unleaded gasoline introduced in the US and when was
it introduced in Europe?  When were catalytic converters made 
mandatory on new cars in the US and in Europe?  What are the
passing numbers of the emissions test when you get your MOT
inspection?  I'm sure several Americans will supply you with 
the comparable numbers from their state tests.  Let's compare.
Are you up to it?
