For NOX it was: 778 @ 15mph and 717 @ 25mph
And for CO: 0.72 @ 15mph and 0.60 @ 25mph
I think I would try going to another location and make certain that they have the correct vehicle information entered. Years ago my truck failed miserably because they had the GVW set too low. Once that was fixed it sailed through just fine.
Like you I am in SoCal so we should have the same standards. It is supposed to be against Federal law to change the standards but I don't trust this state with anything. That being said, the numbers on my print-outs are indeed consistant.
I hope this helps,

Thanks for the input Jim. I am in Tustin so the 10 mile radius should mean the same limits. :-)
I was told that the standards changed a few months ago. It is a little hard to believe that we need to meet higher standard than last year, but this is California I guess. I also have tried to find that actual standards online without luck so far. I am going to try a different station and see what happens.
I think the one thing that is strange to me is that my NOX supposedly went up.
Thanks again.
Mike
