Doug et. al.,As I understand it all 50 are now under the "new" Federal
regulations mandated in the Clean Air Act of 1991. These rules are much more
strict than the CAL stds. The reason most states aren't feeling this yet is due
to it being slowly phased in. For instance in Texas, folks in Houston, Dallas,
San Antonio and El Paso, high smog areas were target for enforcement first. But
the regulations applies to all of the U.S., no exceptions. It is just a matter
of when....
