I'd like to get a car that pollutes less, but unfortunately the car I want to buy has a pretty big engine (no hybrid version is available). I know that California has strict requirements for emissions standards, and I think that the auto manufacturers make "California emissions" versions of their cars that meet that state's minimum emissions requirement.
So my question is, can I get the California emissions configuration if I live out of the state, and will the exhaust be noticeably cleaner if I do??
(I know that the air would be cleaner if we all drove Priuses, but that's not my question. I'm trying to take this "lower emissions" step instead of doing nothing.)
Thanks!
