Low Emission Vehicle?

 

Judging from a lot of comments about the soot on our tailpipes, I'd say NOT.

 

actually it is. As a matter of fact that is the reason there is 9 horsepower less. THere were some posts on here that the car had NO EMISSIONS - at a state test in TN and another state somewhere else.

Mazda says LEV-II or Stage 4 for Europe

 

zero emission? possible?

maybe there is a place where we can get emission info? EPA web site?

 

"The carmaker claims the new engine will be able to meet both the tough new Euro-4 and U.S. LEV-II emissions standards."

NO WAY it is not an LEV as most rotary engine are not.

I am going to change the exhaust manifold and muffler to make it even worse heheh :D

 

no, really it is. the catalytic converter and ECU tuning really make all the difference.

 

i was told my car is classified as ULEV (Ultra low emmision vehicle) is that even more efficient than LEV or are they the same?

 

Mazda didn't say anything anywhere about it? just wondering
