Basically posting this just to let you know that there is that possibility of runoff still getting onto the roads as late as 10 oclock this morning. Satellite and radar shows you that that main chunk of rain will be getting through probably off the coast by about eight or 9 oclock this morning. After that its clouds and sun today, and just a slight chance of a spotty thunderstorm popping up in a couple places. Most of you dry this afternoon. Boy its warm this morning. 75 degrees in philadelphia. 70 in allentown. 73 in trenton. 73 in cape may. And its not only the warmth but its the humidity today. Look at these dewpoints. Any time you get dewpoints over 60 we talk about it feeling humid. These dewpoints over 70. Thats oppressive humidity. And once that sun comes out, you are definitely going to feel the muggies today. 73 degrees by 7 oclock. 76 by 10 oclock.

They were going to have good fuel economy. They were going to have good Engine Performance. Can you guarantee that any fix you make to the vehicles doesnt affect fuel economy or fuel performance are both . At this time if we correct the knox the emission standards, the customer will get the mpg. Thats my current understanding of whether the full performance of the car, this is something they said in germany, maybe top speed that might be one or two Miles Per Hour might be missing but this is of course something which we will share with the agencies that current understanding is that the customer will keep the miles per gallon.

Indeed the Software Applications management are being done in germany at the engine and drive Time Department within the research and development division. Okay. The epa describe a series of presentations or discussions with
