- You are so correct! I used V8 because those are the most prevelant, but
- I too, have been gassed by more than one sub-2 liter BlueSmokeSpecial.
-
- Their environmental impact isn't as severe, since they are still probably
- getting 18-20 mpg while the old Monte Carlos, LTD's etc get 8-10 (assuming
- the car is in the smoke-belching stage).
-
- You know, I don't seem to see many Camaro/Firebirds that belch blue smoke
- (a occasional one, but not many). I wonder why?
