Have you ever wondered why dishwashers today take twice as long to do a worse job of cleaning dishes? Or why it's so much harder to get gasoline out of a new gas can? Or why cars made decades ago always turn heads, while today's are drab in the same way?
If CEI wins this battle for consumers, it might want to petition the government to let people buy gas cans that work properly.
Most homeowners of a certain age will remember those good old gas cans that had a spout at one end, and a small resealable vent at the other.
They decided old-style gas cans were too polluting and let too much gas spill on the ground.
So the EPA decreed in 2009 that gas cans must henceforth have: 1) A single, self-venting opening for filling and pouring with no separate vents or openings and 2) a nozzle that automatically closes when it's not being used.
In frustration, people started drilling vent holes in their EPA-approved gas cans and entrepreneurial companies started selling nozzle replacement kits.
Why is it that cars made 40 years ago or more are captivating, and varied, with real personalities, while new cars today are, for the most part, indistinguishable?
