so, matt, genius that you are, are you STILL claiming gasoline is oxygenated
to
reduce CO emissions upon cold engine startup for cars with carbs?

In other words, matt, you are claiming a car with a Holly 5200 glued onto
the
intake manifold does not meet EPA standards and the EPA forced the petro
companies to change the fuel to "make it all better?"


I don't think he said that. The EPA did:

Clean Fuel Provisions of the Clean Air Act of l990

• Oxygenated Fuels
The oxygenated fuels provision affects 31 metropolitan areas that have
high levels of carbon monoxide pollution (see chart).Since November
1992, gasoline sold in the winter in these areas must contain a
minimum of 2.7 percent oxygen. The oxygen helps vehicles burn fuel
more completely. this program has reduced vehicle carbon monoxide
emissions by 15 to 20 percent.
