Where abycat is located, and where I am, it wouldn't matter much. You could have virtually every vehicle on the road a diesel from the 1950s and the difference would be negligible. The population density just isn't high enough.
That being said, I don't yank a lot of anything. In the taxi days, cats might come off, but they were LPG anyway.
Bluestream: If there's no inspection procedure, the feds can outlaw whatever they want. Highway Transport Patrol is provincial and isn't looking for catcons anyhow, and contract policing has other priorities.
