Nah. just to see if you're awake. The other issue is the Benzine ( see
Paul C Dickie )
which I suggest ( loaded ) was the reason for the introduction of those
catalysts.
The oil companies had to get rid of it somehow, to turn cars into mobile
incinerators
with the addition of a little device to the exhaust. It also increases
CO2 production
and rips up great lumps of third world countries to get the platinum etc
etc ( general
loaded greenie moan .. )
