I come here looking for gloom and doom, instead I find the rantings of some old crackpot that wants to drive around in a 2 stroke diesel powered bus from the 60s. Do you know that a 2 stroke Detroit diesel looks, sounds or smells like? I'm greatful for the fact that "Kali" and the adjacened states are smart enough to take that garbage off the road. If it costs some nut job his hobby, fine that's a small price to pay for cleaner air. And your whole slippery slope argument is complete nonsense. The heavy duty diesel CARB rules that "Kali" and 14 other states adopted have been on the books for a decade and are being implemented in stages to take all pre 08 heavy duty diesel engines off the road. These engines produce orders of magnitute more pulution than the tiny population of old diesel cars on the road. States know this that's why they've left old diesel cars alone.
To recap, please don't confuse this
With this
Otherwise you might end up looking stupid like this.

Come to "Kali". Under the terrible tyrany of CARB we have cheap 56 cetane conventional diesel and cheap 75 cetane renewable diesel made from plan and animal fats that puts biodiesel to shame in every way. both burn substantially cleaner and quieter than diesel fuel I've bought outside the state.
The state gov is now pushing to reduce its petroleum consumption by 50% by 2030 so we'll be getting a whole lot more of these fuels (including the audi fuel mentioned above) while the rest of the country gets left behind.
