As the article above states, hopefully it will be oil friendly.

Maybe this will help get some of these heavy polluting V8 engines off the road. There is no need for a V8 engine beyond commercial purposes.

And who put you in charge of "who needs what"? I've seen plenty of baffed out Civics blowing far more visible smoke than a clean running V8 would ever contribute.

And V8's aren't heavy polluting anyway. There's hardly any difference between the pollution level of a 4 cylnder, V6 and V8 at the same load. I'd like to see proof of say a Chevy Silverado pollutes much more than a Ford F-150 Ecoboost.

Here the EPA report in full.

The focus is on reducing emission and sulfur which improves air quality and emissions controls systems efficiency in your car.

Since I don't need a V8, I guess I'll have to sell my truck and get one with a V10 instead.

Unless you tow or haul... or like to burn rubber, jack rabbit start, race, enjoy torque, low rpm's, (1300 @ 55 mph)long life. I'd say go fornicate yourself, but that'd be un - pc which obviously you'd appreciate!
back on topic...
I'll pay 7 cents more a gallon for low sulfur...

Aww [censored] No!
Hi,
gregoron - As a contrast, China is rapidly going all out with sulphur erradication too
To this end they are spending many millions on Refinery upgrades and in ensuring that suitable lubricants are being developed accordingly
China has had enormous air pollution problems of late

Guess what, I'm keeping my V8 powered truck. I happen to like having a V8 and you have no business telling me or anybody else that there is "no need" for a V8 except in commercial applications.

I'm taking the nasty old 307 V8 out of my GMC, and swapping in a much nastier 522 V6. I hope to have this done by Earth Day so I can go make an extreme demonstration of environmental disobedience (wild smoky burnout) in front of Greenpeace Headquarters.

EXACTLY my feelings as well--WTHeck are you anyway?
Just to make you feel better, I'll let you know I have 2 Corvette V-8s (naturally) and a Tahoe which guzzles gas at the rate of 1 gallon every 11 miles or so
Yep, a total of over 1000 CHEVY V-8 HORSES in my driveway at the moment
Put that in you pipe and smoke it (as my mom would say)

I look forward to the change.
