Why is the EPA involved in auto mfg????

Why is the EPA involved in auto mfg???? They're also involved in the Ag business; the exhaust system on the CLAAS 970 I run is warranted for five years or "X" hours... Tom said as soon as that expires they're gonna de-DEF that unit and lose all the emissions crap mandated by the EPA.... Gov't is into EVERYTHING....

I hear ya - either of my HDs get around 44 mpg... And I'll be using them more this year whenever I can.. Take note of places like Viet Nam, India et al. I would bet most residents use scooters, small motorcycles etc., to get around... Easier to park, thrifty on fuel, easier to maneuver on crowded streets..

Can you pull a camper up a 12 mile mountain loaded full of hunting gear to hunting camp with one of those scooters? Asking for a friend......

i just saw an old ad for the 1978 Chevy Chevette .it said it got 40 mpg..how come my little work car 2010 Hyundai accent .same size as a chevette only gets 32-34 mpg? The EPA rating has gotten tougher to reflect actual conditions. Plus, remember that we drove 55 mph, vs. 80 now. That's a 30% increase in fuel consumption right there. come to think about it that is true ,I usually hitting 80mph on interstate with it .. I doubt my '82 rabbit diesel could've even hit 80. My VW rabbit diesel had a hard time managing 65. There were times though that I forgot it had a fuel gauge.

No, and that is the whole point, they do not want you to be able to do that...

I sure hope the Presidential Limo is required to meet that same specification.
