I couldn't find the other thread that had the EPA labels, but this one has the 'grades for some sample vehicles': http://gas2.org/2010/09/06/here-it-is-the-epas-new-grading-scale/#more-9719
I noticed that they didn't include the Honda Civic GX, but it would have received an A- at 200g/mi. of CO2 at 90% methane. I used to use cng that was 99.9% pure methane (from lng and APS), but now I see the public pumps only say 90%, which is the minimum to obtain those levels. I was trying to find my old emissions testing receipts when I was using 99.9%, but I'm sure it was way below 200. Maybe someone can find the CO2 emissions for a Honda Civic GX using 99.9% pure methane. So it used to have an 'A'. :) Isn't it going to be great to have an 'A+' with our LEAFs? :mrgreen:
