New Study Finds Manganese-Based Gasoline Additive Causes Vehicle Emission Failures
The comprehensive study conducted by the Automotive Industry which was released today, confirms that the manganese-based gasoline additive, methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT), significantly raises vehicle emissions, increases fuel consumption and impairs the proper operation of vehicle emission control systems. MMT is commonly added to Canadian gasoline to increase octane. |
