<p>[quote user="Paul Milenkovic"]The quoted sentence is a patronizing thing to say about an American complaining about a state of affairs in America, especially for persons outside America who are spared this in their home country?[/quote]</p> <p>The remark wasn't meant in a patronizing sence. If it was understood this way I apologize. I know how difficult working with the bureaucracy can get when I had to apply for building permits. Inspite of all problems with EPA one should consider their merits and remember how L.A. looked 40-50 years ago. How long we are spare has to be seen. The EU has set NOx limits for the air in cities which are not met on regular basis in many of them. So what are the measures.</p> <p>[quote user="Paul Milenkovic"]As to the 10 ppm vs 15 ppm sulfur standard, the one point on which European rules are more strict,[/quote]</p> <p>It is not the question which is more strict but the timing. We had lower sulfur content before the lowest NOx limits came into force. I already said a few posts ago that Germany has the advantage of having to import crude and can choose low sulfur crude. Perhaps the higher sulfur content (50 ppm) let VW fail meeting the EPA limits. Thats no excuse.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
