CA.?? prop.23

[FLASH 1]

THIS is what we have experienced We have had 7.3's 6.0's and now a 6.7 Cummins,, the 7.3 very reliable,, 6.0 yes problem I have had 2 and now the 6.7 Cummins,, all 4 trucks have pulled very heavy weights up I-15 out of calif up to Las Vegas, Nevada, up in the hills of Oregon/Wash across the I-40 in Az or up I-17 corridor,, these weights exceed 30,000 lbs with just the last trip 2 weeks ago at 37,855 lbs and what we have said all around that a 6.0 stock air cleanor 4" exhaust will out pull any 7.3 with equal weight and wind drag and by wind drag stand up 2 8' beds on back of a truck andsee waht that does and like I said our 6.0 with that set up went up against all of those broke down Chevys and Dodges but a far as reliablity forget the 6.0,, our average for fuel for every 1/4 was 9.4 with pulling 2 different trailes and our 1 trailer enclosed is a extra 1 1/2 higher than most,, our 6.7 cummins last 1/4 was 9.2 but look at the size F-650 Crew Cab Roll back,, I know when back in 2004 when I got our first 6.0 like wow and even running across Texas told one person if you want to run with this 6.0 better go to Ford and get one but that me,, the 6.7 Cummins has less power but heck look at the warranties Ford Could not even match Unlimited on Trans for 3 years and 2 years unlimited on Motor then afteryears up can be updated on the basis of mileage on vehicle Just our

Okay, I ain't all that smart on this subject. But since Prop 26 passed, wouldn't that pretty much make any funding to enforce AB32 hard to get?

Tried to read and understand some of this, but Prop 26 I think changes the name of the "fees" they need to enforce AB32 to "taxes" and would make it harder to get as they would need some kinda vote for the "taxes" that they wouldn't have had to have for the"fees"

Can anyone else see my confusion here?

I would also like to point out that, even though the emissions from the truck itself may be less... you need to consider what emissions are involved in the production and delivery of the ~25% more fuel they require.

I've often wondered why nobody talks about that part of the equation when they talk about lower emissions. It would be interesting to see someone run some numbers.

...But since Prop 26 passed...

It passed? Everything I found said it did not pass?

I too was under the impression that Prop 26 did not pass.

And yes that is 400 hp with all the emissions crap functional.

According to the SF Chronicle and NY Times Prop 26 squeaked by without much notice. As far as I can tell, it should make it hard for them to do anything with AB32. Didn't even make front page news.
