Here's an example. Texas has 6 poor air quality locations. Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio, El Paso, and rural east Texas. The first 5 have vehicle emissions testing, but we don't. Our poor air quality is not from automobiles, since we don't have all that many. It's from industry, especially the antique coal power plants burning dirty coal (lignite). Fuel regulations and improvements won't fix that.
