Mostly, I think at this point is to just leave as programmed and let owners continue with as is, don't threat to yank the tags for lack of emission test, fail codes or screw by lowering economy rating. Hear me out for a moment...

Does anyone think they contribute THAT MUCH more vs. some stinko 'die'sel from the 1980's or 1990's, current big trucks and busses? Of course the idea by govt. is to force makers continually improve, have the cleanest and most fuel efficient vehicles possible avg. out in their offerings.

Though in time attrition retires them, its off to the recycler and we're onto another vehicle. These late model so called 'dirty' burners eventually join the crusher too but they ARE NOT really BAD.

Interesting that you make the standards are too high argument. Half of all academia fraud uses that defense.
