I take it the creators of South Park have the
residents of Colorado pegged pretty accurately? The
altitiude probably has something to do with the
attitude - the air is naturally cleaner up there.

Los Angeles has a lot nicer air now than in the '70's
- Thanks to the EPA and CARB.

If I'm stuck in traffic I'd rather be behind a hybrid
than a diesel.

Biannual smog tests are also pretty effective. Last
time I was in Oregon it seemed every other car had
somehow "lost" its catalytic converter.

There's a lot more to hybrids than fuel economy. They
make city air cleaner. And the fuel economy is real -
it's not just tires and aerodynamics.

Cheerful regards,

Bob
