This reminds me of the "eco" car that was my Volvo V70. You could fill it up with E85, which placed it in a lower tax bracket in Sweden.
However, no one actually used E85, because Volvo engines had recently had issues with some engine gaskets being ruined by ethanol...
- subpixel 3y agoEvery Subaru in the US has a sticker that says "Partial Zero Emission Vehicle". Yeah right. https://www.subaruonlineparts.com/sku/j121sfj700.html https://www.subaruonlineparts.com/sku/j121sfj700.html
- airstrike 3y agoHow could anything be "partial zero"? lol
- SAI_Peregrinus 3y ago0 for some pollutants but not others. If you capture & catalyze all the SO2 in the exhaust but nothing else, that's a "partial zero emission vehicle".
- airstrike 3y agoThat's not partial zero in my book. It's at best "50% polluting" (making up the expected value here, but you get the point). Or "less polluting".. anything but "partial zero"
- SAI_Peregrinus 3y agoI think of it as a vector quantity with one (or more) components zero, and the rest nonzero. I agree it's a stupid name, but at least there's some reason to it. Misleading, but not entirely inaccurate.
