The truth is if the car passes emissions it is legal, if the area he is in has no requirements it is legal.
Also a better question is not if its legal but if its MORAL, is it moral to use more fuel and make more emissions or moral to use significantly less fuel and make less overall emissions but more of one type that only affects massive city's?
Most nations excluding the US allow lean burn as Nox is really only a smog problem in big city/massive urban centers, on its own it usually reacts into harmless compounds.
The question I have always had is how many ticks past stoich can a narrow band O2 see?
Also he may already run a tad leaner than the US counterpart anyway as I don't believe Aussies cared too much about Nox like most civilized countries.
