Hi ElectricTroy:

___I think I already answered this in another thread. Ford doesn’t have to rate as well as warranty it as a PZEV in any state or locale if they didn’t want to no matter where it is. It is the fact that the PZEV HW has been removed for those few specific locations and the prospective buyer’s will be totally unaware.

____You have visited the EPA emissions sites more then once, right?

___Fortunately, the HOV lane issue won’t be a problem for most locales that have them and are considering Hybrid – single passenger use because of the 45 mpg EPA average as a minimum requirement.

___Good Luck
