Having worked in air quality research, I can tell you that the sum effect of all the cars running catless does have a measurable effect on air quality. And air quality has a measurable effect on human health. This isn’t preaching, just an observation.

ahh. I see what I did there. The M240i comes with run flats and they can the all season is selection is pretty narrow. Just looking for all seasons for Supra.
I have the same on my M240i and agree with the above. Looking now for all seasons for the Supra. The tricky part is getting run flats in the right size. Sizes are limited.
It’s not perfect, but there is a reason to the approach and it does help keep vehicles in compliance, albeit not every vehicle. States have to take reasonable measures to meet the CAA requirements, but they don’t have to guarantee that every vehicle is in compliance.
That’s a very good point because the oil has gone down and then back up according to the sensors.
Toyota just got back to me and the service tech (who is stunningly knowledgeable and attentive). We’ll monitor. Toyota is clearly a bit nervous. We’ll see how this unfolds and I’m satisfied at this...
Yep, it wasn’t so much I thought a conspiracy, but I know the B58 doesn’t necessarily burn oil at that rate. My M240i, which gets driven hard, burns a quart every 5k or so. The standard deviation on these things should be tighter. And, I’ve burned a quart in as few as 700 miles in the Supra...
I’m at Toyota now. I was told that 1 quart/1000 miles isn’t unreasonable for a sports car. we are discussing that proposition now (in a civil manner). They’re at least opening a case and downloading data from the car.
