California adopts 1977 evaporative emissions rules for new cars
The California Air Resources Board unanimously adopts evaporative emission standards for 1977 model year vehicles. ARB says tests show evaporative HC emissions exceed tailpipe outputs, with some cars averaging about 2 grams per mile before rules cut to roughly 0.6 grams. Quinn calls the move a major step toward cleaner air despite industry complaints over lead time.
