Nope - read my post again. I was referring to the emissions created in 
the -manufacture- of these newer "cleaner" cars, compared to the 
emissions produced by a 20 year old car in the intervening 20 years. You 
can also

You were the one advocating tuning to 4%, not me! :-)

The DeLorean is compromised in terms of Emissions, Power and Economy. 
Remove the Emissions side of the triangle, allow it to go to the level 
of a Euro-spec PRV and the Power increases quite dramatically, and the 
economy, on my car at least, actually improved too.

I also forgot to mention that much over 2% (set by the adjustment screw) 
and you get poor cold starting problems, unless you re-jig the CPR, but 
we went down that route and it didn't work well. BTW mixture isn't just 
set by the screw as you know, and as I said, I'm not tellin' exactly 
what we do :-)

BTW try www.veggievan.org - I haven't read these sites for a while 
though. However, I have some food for thought for you
