Mercedes Blue-Tec diesel....

Apparently the holdup for bringing diesels to the states is the availability of low-sulphur K2 and the EPA is requiring that every auto parts store stock urea, which is sprayed into the exhaust for Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR), yea, urea in in urine!

Next the EPA is going to require diesel exhaust to smell like flowers and be pumped into buildings as an air purification unit.

Probably, but are those really the kind of people we want in the gene pool anyway?
