    Better. The offending vehicle should be seized and donated to Pacific Northwest commune flannel hippies who will run it on vegetable oil and never, ever wash it.

      They will delete any emissions equipment because its excessively complicated and a pain to work on and then run it on vegetable oil which is even less efficient and will continue to pollute the environment by driving on worse economy and higher emissions.

      But keep going.

        Vegetable oil is grown, not drilled/pumped. It’s carbon-neutral, and doesn’t add anything that’s not already in the system.

        That’s all depends on how you grow it, though.

          So is ethenol.

          Burning these as fuels is still a problem. Otherwise we would all be running biofuels.

          Thanks. I actually know about this stuff as opposed to lots of people 'round these parts, obviously.
