I'd say that is an improvement! And the California models have a very long emissions warranty, so I assume that technology eventually will make it across the ocean and you'll get reliable diesels. Unfortunately that probably means you were used as the Guinea pigs to test different systems, and some worked better than others. Like a Tektronix scope I bought many years ago that was a lot of trouble. Then they released the "A" model, that didn't have problems :( Best regards, Bob =20 --=20 http://www.fastmail.fm - Send your email first class --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
