Since they dont, its obvious that there are only a few who want it.

OR, nothing has been set that says CA cannot charge the public a usage tax based on their emmissions test; it records pollutants issued by the vehicle and recording mileage is part of it as well. This will drive home their point also. If the people dont buy the big bad nasty cars, then the mftrs wont sell them there, or will learn to offer more frugal engine choices.

and btw: mpg does not have a direct correlation to emissions. they are related but a 10% increase in mpg does not necessarily reduce emissions by 10%.

so my question is : Does CA know what the heck it is doing? dont think so...]]>Mar 4th 2008 2:28PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/04/epa-officially-defends-denial-of-ca-request-to-regulate-emission/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/04/epa-officially-defends-denial-of-ca-request-to-regulate-emission/
So? The commerce clause exists for a reason. If California and their fans don't like it, then try and secede.]]>Mar 4th 2008 3:07PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/04/epa-officially-defends-denial-of-ca-request-to-regulate-emission/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/04/epa-officially-defends-denial-of-ca-request-to-regulate-emission/
Two standards. Two. Not fifty. Got it? Ok.
