Same in Delaware, but they have never checked my Vanagon.  They check most
of the other vehicles.

Subject:    Re: weird smog rule

this has been going on all the time in colorado and a few other places.
  it is only for vehicles where the gas cap seal is actually part of the
emissions system.  this would be many cars since about 1990.  many
injected cars actually pressurize the entire fuel system and this keeps
fuel vapors from being pumped into the atomosphere, and on some cars it
definately effects your performance as well.   on some cars a
diagnostic check actually has a step to check and make sure the gas cap
is sealing correctly.
