Let me correct you on a couple of things, Jay.
First, on a vehicle older than 1996, the "check engine" light is irrelevant for inspection. Yours falls under OBD1 regulations. That amounts to a visual inspection to verify that required parts have not been removed.
The thinking is that older vehicles like your 1991 are already mostly worn out and have been taken off the road long ago. So, if there are a few "polluters" still hanging on, it is likely that they are mostly at the end of their useful life and will soon be gone.
Also note that since the emission inspection is only once a year, once your MIL light comes on, you have a bit less than a year to fix it or fail the next inspection.

I do agree that it is more about the money than the air, but overall, it has been a big step in cleaning up the air that we all breathe. Think I am kidding? Go to an antique car meet, and follow one home. Almost guaranteed to give you a headache within a couple of miles. Sometimes I wonder how we tolerated it way back then.
