I was reading an article on Mexico City banning the use of the Mexican VW bettle because of safety and emissions. That concerns me because I try to keep my 1.7 engine well tuned. I know my car is extremely fuel efficient but is it bad for the environment in another way? Does anyone know have any info on this?

Since they were built before catalitic (sp) converters and unleaded gas was required, I'd say they are very dirty.
But just like girls, the cheap and dirty ones and the most fun. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |
