I was told by a buddy who used to manage a Tunex that a fresh oil change to a
100% synthetic such as Mobil 1 will help with the hydrocarbon test. He said
regular oil has a background of hydrocarbon emissions but the synthetics break
down slower and thereby reduce the HC emissions. I never had to do it myself,
so don't have personal experience on the issue.

So......an pint and a smidge of E85 (85% ethanol) added to a (nearly) full
tank?

You wouldn't need both E85 and a pint, as the E85 is already 85%
alcohol. A near empty tank with just enough E85 to get passed the
test before you top it off with your preferred fuel would do the
trick.

Guess I did not word my thoughts very well.
I read Barry's note to say "one pint of alcohol in a full tank of gas"
So, just more than a pint of E85 added to the nearly full tank would do it.
Would the car run well on straight E85? I have no experience with that, at
all.> Date: Mon, 17 Mar 2008 12:28:02 -0600> From:
