New cars are NOT the problem! : >John : : You're understating your case. Car pollution is something like a 10-80 : proposition with 10% of the cars producing 80% of the pollution. Absolutely! And it's been noted that if a reliable tailpipe emissions meter could be developed that would allow police to observe a suspect car (similar to the way they observe speeding cars with radar or laser), the need for emissions testing would virtually vanish, because the real cause of the problem (the 10% of the cars Ted refers to) could be taken off the street. =============================================== | James G.
