From what I read, CARB did NOT want this additive. There was NO evidence
it worked. CARB did NOT do any tests. The pusher for the additive
was the gas company (I believe it was ARCO) who made it. All the
tests showing the additive worked came from the oil company.

So it looks like ARCO managed to pull a fast one on CARB and a
whole lot people.
