What is the law in mot’s regarding diesel cars of pre 1979 vintage?

I am under the impression that cars of this age are not emission tested. It is just a visual test.
The only emission test applicable to Diesel engines is the measuring of exhaust smoke density. The test involves accelerating the engine several times to its maximum unloaded speed. Note: it is of the utmost importance that [...]

Does is worry you that the EPA is claiming the power to regulate CO2 emissions, which we exhale?

WIll the EPA consider all living animals to be polluters by default. What kind of fine will we have to pay? Who will make the wildlife pay? What if we lose our EPA-issued government licenses to exhale?

Are diesel cars worth the extra cost?

The price of diesel is about 23 percent greater than that of gasoline right now. The Jetta Diesel got about 25 percent more mileage than the gasoline Jetta. Looks like it is not worth getting a diesel Jetta even if VW brings it back.
