More Polluting gas-more sulfur? tC engine affected?
I heard that the EPA is allowing "more polluting gas formulations" to be used during the fuel crisis caused by hurricane Katrina.. they said it's to allow refineries to get gas more quickly to market..
my question is.. how is this "more polluting gas" going to affect the tC's engine? i was thinking that meant higher sulfur content in the gas, correct me if i'm wrong..

No problem at all. This change only allows all 50 states to use the same chem compound in refinement. Currently, each state/region has it's own clean air provisions mandated by the EPA (tree huggers) and requirements. Some states have little to no requirements because there is no EPA requirements.
Our engines are fine in all 50 state requirements and will burn this fuel just fine. It just allows the refineries to distribute the fuel much faster as opposed to making many different mixes.

Moral of the story: New technology is great, just wait till it has some time to get tested by OTHER people first.
