Good god, it seems like y'all dropped the requirement for Stage 2 vapor recovery systems in 2011 [1] based on the pretense of onboard filters in vehicles being enough... meanwhile here in the EU, where many member countries already had national requirements for years prior to that, we passed that requirement in 2009 [2].
The US attitude, particular to expensive systems, on anything emissions related continues to negatively amaze me.
I'm sure it was a combination of not wanting to spend money and customers feeling the new pumps with vapor recovery systems were too difficult to operate and so sought out stations that hadn't yet upgraded.
