Emissions Joke
I went to the Chevy site looking to do some research on my truck's competition and the site said something to the effect that all diesel engines from 2008 model trucks have to have emissions cleaner than the air in Los Angeles, which got me to thinking about the white smoke I see people complaining about here and was wondering if that was to make the people from Los Angeles feel better or worse about their situation. ffice

Ok, I suppose it's because I come from an area where the air is clean and the idea that the emissions from a motor would be cleaner than the air from my home is hard to imagine. You know what I am not going to explain it. Sorry.

By 2013, the air coming out of a heavy duty diesel will be cleaner than the air going in, and that includes the air in your home.
The white smoke you mention is only hydrocarbons, something California doesn't recognize as a polutant.

What I dont understand is that the government is tring to make the exhaust cleaner, yet in the process, the vehicles are getting worse fuel mileage. So the exhaust is cleaner, but you end up burning alot more fuel. (Back to square one)
