If you are modifying you vehicle to circumvent those laws you are breaking the law, so why should you get away with it when others are obeying the law and keeping their vehicles maintained and clean?
Because reducing fuel consumption and increasing reliability and longevity are more environmentally friendly than prematurely replacing an entire engine due to failure that can be traced back to running abrasive soot particles back through the engine. Just because a political group (who surely dont have friends and relatives who own key businesses that are deeply intertwined in the support industries of the "green" movement) claims an improvement of a few numbers on a piece of paper make it "Better" doesnt mean its actually "better" Start thinking of how much fuel is burnt during regens, as well as freighting DEF everywhere, as well as the extra fuel hauled to truck stops to support the extra demand on fuel thanks to both of those.
Thats why its OK to break the law. Speed limit 70, ill run 85 if its dry, clear, and low traffic. Ill run 30 if its icy, foggy, and plenty of traffic. The LAW said its MINIMUM 40 mph on our interstate, so should I speed up on the ice to follow the LAW?
My opinion, if it passes the ethics test, break the damn law.
You may see an improvement in air quality where you live, but enlighten us where your landfill trash goes? I cant imagine it stays on the island? Our air was already clean, now I get to see plastic DEF jugs littering the highway ditches whenever I drive somewhere. We are not gaining. sideways move at best, but probably losing ground long term. Future wind and solar equipment disposal worries me greatly.
Ground Heathro for a month and see what that does for air quality. No one wants to admit the airline industry is proportionally the greatest polluter in the world. |
