i think everyone admits that the govt messed up on mtbe. apparently it did result in somewhat cleaner air tho, even during the original debate about introducing mtbe into gas, there was a lot of concern about its persistence in water. i grew up in the 60's-70's in LA, before they really had much of smog controls. i wouldn't go back to those days for anything. the air there now isn't great, but i think it was much worse then. mark weaver
