Hi Guys:

___Whooa, hold on here … Does the Acura MDX non-hybrid SUV with a ULEV-II emissions rating deserve to be banned when I receive > 30 mpg in her out on the highway? The last time I took her into downtown Chicago, I nailed a 27 mpg segment on the way home in it over 3 hours of crawling all 41 miles. I think all Dodge Neon’s should be banned because there emissions are worse and the guy driving it doesn’t get as high as FE as I do? Ban all Minivans for the same reason! All Full Sizes P/U trucks should be banned! Why not all vehicles that are not Tier II/Bin 4 rated or achieve at least 30 + mpg in real life per a future OBD-III diagnostics HW via wireless com’s? Ban them I say, as they don’t belong on my road! Only Prius II’s, HCH’s, and Insight’s should be allowed on the roadway! Ban everything else!

___The above was all in jest … I hope some saw the humor in it

___Good Luck
