I worked in the end of the industry where the rubber hits the road. The end
user of automotive products couldn't have cared less about UHC, CO, NOX, or
any other three letter substitute excuse for the performance that they used
to enjoy. They didn't want technical explanations, their only interest was
in 0 to 60 times, smooth idle, no stalling when you stepped on the gas and
unimportant stuff like that. Zone managers, technical support people who
worked for the big 3, were busy covering their exposed rear ends with fancy
excuses, and left techs like me to deal with irate customers who were
getting 16 to 18 mpg with their 50's and 60's cars, only to buy the 70's
and 60's cars that got 9 to 12 mpg and wouldn't pull the hat off your head.
Wouldn't go back to that era for any amount of money.
Your experiences may vary a bit.
