Hi ElectricTroy:

___Of course Ford saves money when they only have to warranty the emissions for 5/60. This is the case anywhere in the country including the 5 green states when it is not marketed as a PZEV.

___As for the rot gut, many places in the country are still stuck with > 150 ppm sulfur fuels, not just the Midwest … In your spare time, look up Blueplanet fuel (sold in the upper Midwest) in case you were interested in HQ low sulfur and benzene fuels for our automobiles. It is just a bit too far of a drive (~ 250 miles) for me to fill up there is all Then again, I could always fill up with BP Ultimate as it is a LS fuel in my locale but at a $0.20 premium, I pass. 2006 is almost here

___Good Luck
