Well you might LOL, i certainly did the first time i read it
But both Wheels and MOTOR have both mentioned the same thing now (that dude in W.A whose car they used in the recent group comparo in MOTOR supposedly confirmed it was true). So as far as effective internet propaganda goes, this one even seems to have fooled legitimate motoring publications
I knew it couldn't be true- coz Californian legislation states that engines in passenger vehicles need to be able to travel 125,000mi (200,000km) without the engine being opened, and still meet C.A.R.B emissions regs.
