They were not even required to have a PCV, no TWC (three-way cat), no EGR, just raw particulates, NOx and HC's being thrown out the tailpipe! And usually in huge quantities as they are mostly large engines...
However diesels are getting much better with 2007.5 requirements, and we can look forward to more improvements 2010.
Suffice to say that a modern OBDII gasoline engine is far far cleaner than the worst emissions offenders.

My hope is to be able to piggy-back on this technology and get my hands on an affordable NOx sensor that is intended for diesels. In the event that I do an engine mod that effects the 02 sensor, I can monitor my normal gasser for NOx compliance.
