- I believe it. My car had 0.01% C02 emissions (but it had 1200 HC) - I
- had a hole in the muffler and it was sucking air. Of course, if your
- car had the exhaust disconnected completely, then no wonder it got 0
- HC and 0 CO2.

- (The emissions device printed out that CO2 reading is too low to be
- correct, and sure enough, I had an exhaust leak)
