Is the irony of posting something like this on a list dedicated to
keeping 14-19 year old luxury sedans that get SUV mileage lost on you?

In emissions states the standard is set to numbers in place the year the
vehicle was manufactured.  Diesels are usually completely exempt.  Be
thankful you live in a non emi$$ion$ state, if it gets around to testing,
that "familiar digit" will get pointed squarely at you and your V8Q.
