Is this a 1998 article or something more recent (a URL would help). Back in '98 CARB decided the EPA wasn't being strict enough re: PWC and 2 strokes in general. The numbers you mention above were cited back then. It might be interesting to see, now that the hype has died, how much was truth and how much was hype from both sides on the issue.
