Fuel Taxes Must Rise, Harvard Researchers Say.
To meet the Obama administration’s targets for cutting greenhouse gas emissions, some researchers say, Americans may have to experience a sobering reality: gas at $7 a gallon.
To reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the transportation sector 14 percent from 2005 levels by 2020, the cost of driving would simply have to increase, according to a forthcoming report by researchers at Harvard’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs.
The 14 percent target was set in the Environmental Protection Agency’s budget for fiscal 2010.
If gas hits $7.00 you can bet Diesel will be as high or higher. Now go thank the White house for this mess.

Thank God for living in the swamps.
Been watching for threads like this. Called my buddy to make arrangements to get my inspection done. (Working in Texas, inspection due this month). Told him about my mods, he wants me to help do his shop truck.
Inspection for us goes like this. Sign here, thanks, heres your sticker, you owe me 10 bucks.
Registration is about 75 bucks a year, and has nothing to do with vehicle inspection. Drive to DMV, show proof of insurance, pay money, get new registration and tag sticker, leave. And thats if you dont get it in the mail.
Bet yall are wishing things still worked like it does down here in the sticks eh....

Just another reason why me and mine left. We used to have a Plymouth Neon for my beater/commuter car and it was having evap canister valve issues. 3 different Dodge dealers later and no dice, they couldn't find the part number on their microfiche or on their parts computer. I ended up taking it to a guy that cleared the code long enough to pass the smog test. Even showed him the receipts for all the diagnostic stuff and attempts to repair it, so he made sure it passed for me.
The craziest part of all was once we moved out of California it cleared up on it's own.

What's wierd for me, is that my truck's VIN ends in an even number, so I should have been required to get mine smogged. But when I received the registration renewal, it didn't say I had to get mine smogged. I just paid the registration fees and I already have my tags on the truck...thank goodness.

I wonder if we could rename the Smarty tune the same as the "approved" software and get through that way?
Mine will be compliant before it goes in. I saw this coming and removed the 50hp nozzles and ordered a new downpipe to get the cat back in there.

i think all of you should just move from cali and just let her fall in. if all of you guys are gone that leaves d max and power stroke owners along with a bunch of tree hugging granola eating hippies tht have nothing better to do then think of ways to make our life miserable. at home depot the other day looking for a fuel can none of them have vents anymore and on the tag what's it say? california emisions approved. Im in MAINE! These new fuel cans are a joke. I just end up taking the spout off and dumping more fuel than I would have lost through the vent. Once all DTR members and familys leave it wouldn't hurt my feelings the whole state just slid into the Pacific.
sorry for the rant just ruined a new pair of gloves trying to pour gas.
