My older (86) Toyota failed emissions because of high Nox, a result of too high cumbustion temps. By running an ethanol mix, wouldn't it lower cumbustion temps and improve my chances of passing the test? And how about the aircooled 914's? Lower mileage, but cooler running? Just wondering.

My wifes Avalon get's about under 25 on the ethanol mix, but upwards of 27 on the straight gas.
i would not use that in those cars...your fuel lines won''t like you Ethanol like methanol is HIGHLY corrosive to rubber and is not backwards safe on older cars
