During the testing program, over 800 vehicles of varying makes, age, and mileage were driven about five million miles on cleaner-burning gasoline. Ford fully supports the use of cleaner-burning gasoline in its vehicles. It is a critical component in California's plan to achieve healthy air quality throughout the state. The achievements of developing cleaner-burning gasoline reduces the need for additional costly controls on a broad spectrum of businesses. The bottom line is that the Air Resources Board and industry did their homework.
