Hmmm... how about because the standards are different for SUV's than for compact cars? When I had my emissions tested with my old car ('91 Prelude SI) I failed in one of the three catagories. When I looked at the emissions sheet for my dads van I noticed that the max on his sheet was higher than what I produced i.e. higher than the max for my car. So if the emissions for my 'lude had been held to the standards of my dads four-cylinder minivan I would have passed, since i was held to my cars standard I failed. A truck qualifying as LEV could pollute more than a non-LEV car just because the max's are higher for what it can pollute. So I am not wrong BIATCH!!!
And what year was his van? Also, what are the emmissions laws in GA? In CA, a '92 Ford Fiesta (yes, the 3 cylinders of madness car) pollutes more than a 2002 Ford Excursion, due to the changes in emmisions laws over that time.
