California needs to reduce the tax on Gas and diesel, and start taxing on miles driven per year. Collected by the DMV at registration time, IMO. Of course that asks the question, what about the out of state vehicles driving on our roads?

That's where the diesel cars have been beating the system for years. The govt. want's to push fuel ecomony type cars but they don't want to penalise those drivers. You and I that drive normal cars are the ones that pay for them. The Diesel trucks pay a huge share of their road use. Diesel fuel used to be $100/gallon cheaper than gas. Until I bought a diesel truck. :BangHead::BangHead: Thank you that my diesel got twice the mileage. LOL

From what I have heard, the catalyst alone increases fuel consumption about 10%.

It did, The DPF Canister. It collects the soot from the exhaust, traps it, then needs fuel to burn off the soot when it gets near full. The same fuel that is used to move the vehicle!! There goes your mileage out the window. It injects a extra fuel cycle into the cylinder while the exhaust valve is opened to increase the temp to burn out the soot. What a bad idea. I wont even go into the EGR. Just tell you it recycles over 80percent thru the intake. Not good for anything!! let alone mileage!!

Looks like one of those one stressed element failed and the rest had no choice but to follow type incidents.

About 80 percent of a bridges strength is to hold up the structure. 20 percent carrying or load capacity, when one element of the structure gets over stressed, see you later!
