I agree with Steve.  Big town or Small town is not the issue, all of
the pollutants end up being blown eastward and as I live in Halifax,
it's like breathing the exhaust of ALL of north america.  Even
though I am running carbs (inherited from the PO) I will continue to
run my catylitic converter in an effort to do whatever I can.
