Green 3.2 ?

Just got my `89 3.2 SSE back from OPC (T&C, ABZ), with a weak Co2 level...@ 85.
Should i be happy in the knowledge my car is not damaging the environment...or should i be concerned about this apparent lack of greenhouse enhancing gasses.... been requested back for investigation !

CO2 is your carbon footprint.

85_what? . . .85%? . . .85_Pesos?

understand that when an engine burns fuel (hydrocarbon, mostly C8H18) that oxidation creates Mostly H2O (water/steam), CO2. ...followed up by small amounts of CO, and some NO.

Also understand that CO2 is NOT a pollutant --it's plant food! And, plants have to work hard to find CO2 in the air. ...being that air is made up of less than .04% of CO2.

If you want to be nice to the greenery, Drive!
