In this case "bellyaching" did have an effect on enforcement and certainly has the policy makers attention. Only the foolish and the extremely arrogant ignore the power of public opinion. Think BP’s Tony Hayward, AIG and every US Bank exec.
Last I checked, Hayward is making a fortune in his new job, BP stock is pretty much back to normal, and bankers in the US is back to business as usual with fat bonuses paid out for christmas.
How much impact do "public opinion" has on what we now call EPA 2010?
Or the forthcoming fuel economy standards?
Or the virtual banning of non ULSD from use?
Can you show me one legal sale of an onroad light duty vehicle built this year that do not meet EPA 2010 and FMVSS on the date of manufacturer where there are not legal workarounds (like emission credits)?
There is not one case I am aware of.
So much for the opposition to EPA 2010.
Oh, I do hear of garages fined $$$ by EPA for modding emissions gear.
