How do they differentiate turbodiesel emissions from
regular diesel emissions? :-)

The US lawmakers go to great lengths to make sure that
our automobiles run "clean." Yet here in the NE US,
look at most any house away from a city and it burns
"heating oil" in amounts per year roughly equal to a
what a car consumes. I had a 250 gallon tank that,
in a bad year, needed to be refilled after three weeks.
It would take me 3-4 months to burn that much gas in
my car.  And the oil burners are (at least in NH)
unregulated, unrestricted, unemissioned. You can even
find coal burners converted to burn oil for true
inefficiency. But what politician is going to tell his
voters that, if they don't upgrade their home heating
system, they can't live there anymore?
