i IMAGINE its easier to pas emissions using E85. More fuel means more cooling..more cooling means less NOx, and less NOx means you can increase timing/compression to ensure a complete burn meaning less hydrocarbons.
This is all just guesswork by me though...so IDK for sure.

as far as it running better or not...well, define "better". It will make more horsepower...thats for sure

if your car isnt built for E85 then the same smog laws apply to your car.

just go into the smog center and tell them your car is AWD, you are guaranteed to pass emissions

but if ur in cali and your car doesnt come with it from factory then u auto fail due to it requiring tuning to run the correct afr and spark. i think u should run it dont we get like 6 yrs before we smog anyways
