No, I’m saying California was caught greatly exaggerating the emmisons numbers from the diesel fuel study they conducted that led to all the added taxes and fees because the study claimed diesel fuel was in violation of the 1970s clean air act. When a new study was conducted in 2017, it exposed the numbers and the professor that was leading the original study admitted to congress that he had exaggerating the numbers to help get the taxes and fees installed on diesel fuel.
In reality, diesel fuel is 20-25 percent CLEANER burning than gasoline. Especially now that the sulfur has been taken out of it, much like lead was taken from gasoline to clean it.
Further, per gallon, diesel burns much cleaner, with a higher energy output than gasoline. Yet the “dirty fuel” tax remains.
