As they haul us all the oil we're gonna burn ? lol

I've also heard a half hour romp on a jetski is equal to driving your car halfway across the U.S. ( not sure about that 1 )

Possible. Small engine vehicles (motorcycles) are not subject to the same standards as passenger vehicles. Mythbusters did an episode about motorcycle emissions and how you weren't actually polluting less by riding one. This was a couple years ago when gas prices were at their peak.

The last handful of post reinforce my theory that, emissions testing is simply another way to bilk citizens of their money and do VERY little to positively impact the environment.
