Do a google or bing search for AdBlue...it's a diesel exhaust fluid that
is held in a small tank and injected into the exhaust to curb NOx,
etc...making diesel exhaust cleaner than it's ever been. AdBlue is a
trademark of the German Association of Automobile Industry (VDA) who
ensure the quality of the product. Basically composed of 32.5% high purity
urea and 67.5% de-ionized water. Your 2011 Ford should have such a system
on it.
Mercedes Benz puts this system on their cars, used in Germany...

Better to walk than to drive that short of a distance, emissions speaking.
i.e. two minutes isn't enough time for the engine to come up to operating
temps.

Not anymore. We've moved closer to our destination. 8^) How do you drive
from San Diego, CA to Chicago, IL? I can't count all of the ways, but I
can tell you that a straight on drive to Chicago is approximately 2500
miles. Today we live within 1600 miles of Chicago.

No, I keep the tank at least 3/4 full around town, never letting it get
less than that. But I would allow it to drop to 1/4 full on a trip as
long as 2500 miles, before I'd start to look for a filling station along
the way. Fewer stops that way.

That's how it is supposed to be here. If you didn't work in your lifetime
always living on the dole, then you're going to be even poorer when you
reach retirement age.

It would probably be a matter of whether or not the NTA has listening
posts in Norway. I know that our authority, the FCC, does have such
listening posts throughout the country. If they can impose a fine on a
major television coorporation for an accidental breast exposure, they
would certainly be inclined to enforce language violations over the radio.

My dad was a stickler for not using 4 letter words in his daily business
conversation, no matter who he was talking to.

To me, that is total frustration and I usually stop watching such shows.
If they're going to air beeped shows, they should allow the language to be
heard. Otherwise, don't offer that program, period.

Today it's shared by at least 48% of my countrymen...and by this time next
year, perhaps a larger percentage when they realize what they've done.

You too.
