[Tigers] Nano cars with motorcycle engines

[Jay_Laifman at countrywide.com]

I didn't see this come through.  So, I'm sending it again:


Here is the article I read:  
http://www.latimes.com/classified/automotive/highway1/la-hy-throttle11-2008jun11,0,3268856.story

It says that motorcycles account for 3.6% of registered vehicles, 1% of 
miles travelled, but 10% of the smog causing emissions.  Note that it's 
not just carbon monoxide, but oxides of nitrogen creating this problem.

More to the point, it concludes with the following shocker: "Motorcycles, 
even small ones, are more polluting than Hummers, but it's the best that 
can be done for now."
