[QUOTE="F8L SN8K, post: 10264809, member: 50367"] CARB and EPA provided some compliance flexibility for engine manufacturers to meet the very stringent Tier 2 and Phase 2 levels by adding an Averaging, Banking and Trading (ABT) program. Manufacturers that use ABT have to meet the emissions standards by using a corporate emissions average. By using ABT, manufacturers are able to produce engines with various emissions levels: Some Tier 2/Phase 2 engines are lower than emission standards; some engines meet emission standards; and some engines are higher than emission standards. Allowing the manufactures to make product that people feel they have "to have" such as a 2-stroke and V-8 while still meeting the mandates by the EPA. Ford and all the other manufactures are just trying to make a product that people want to buy while still complying with the given set of rules. Ford has to prove this engine just like the motorcycle companies. I whole heartly agree that a MX/ATV should be a 2-stroke but the powers that be say you need to meet these regulations. Same goes as the trucks that are now included in CAFE regs. I feel that your anger is misguided. Instead of being aimed at Ford and other manufactures it should be aimed towards the people making the rules instead letting the market self regulate. [/QUOTE]
