county displayed on the vehicles registration card
Tested for emission program requirements of the county on the registration card
List NON SUBJECT vehicles - ANS-Classic, antique, specially constructed, or
collectible motor vehicles(titled/registered as such)
Vehicles with a GVWR of 9001 pounds or more and registered in a I/M area
True or false: the vehicle owner is not required to provide proof that they have owned

would show up the same way to any tec reading them
DLC one plug on a scan tool will fit any OBD2 complaint vehicle and connect to its
computer
MIL standardized

What happens to the other 80% of energy that fuel contains? - ANS-Lost to three
sources. Friction (drag of the moving parts), heat, and emissions (which is basically
energy wasted and released out the tailpipe as toxic pollutants)
