BTW direct injection, while good for power and fuel efficiency, is pretty bad for the environment.

Some governments are so obsessed with CO2 emissions that they don't seem to care about some actual direct health impact harmful emissions. 
Ever see a white modern car that hasn't been washed in a while? Good chance you'll see soot on the bumper near the exhaust pipe.  |
