Hmmm right. Clearly I didn't think that one through.

Well maybe they knocked the sniffer out of the pipe while running the test,
lol. Here are 2009 numbers compared to 2011. Not that it's at all important
or that anyone should care, but i'm bored.

HC (PPM)
Limit: 160
Test 2009: 128
Test 2011: 16

CO (%)
Limit: 2.49
Test 2009: 1.02
Test 2011: 0.01

NOx (PPM)
Limit: 3231
Test 2009: 1053
Test 2011: 646
