1. Overfueling to create black smoke will ruin your engine.

2. There are pollution laws in most communities

3. All you guys wanting to blow out black smoke will really get the tree-huggers excited so they can create more laws to strangle us with.

Careful what you wish for. They can make laws for anything they want to fit an agenda. Either to add emissions to an early truck, or just refusal to license an older vehicle.
