2013 California Smog Test for a 2002 non-flex fuel Ford Taurus

Two years after I purchased a used Ford Taurus and starting using various levels of ethanol-gasoline blends (from E10 to E85), I had to have the car smog tested. The results (indicated in red) showed that my car emitted virtually no harmful emissions.

I did have the vehicle smog tested again in 2015 and it passed. However, California changed the way they report the findings; they no longer list the statistical test information, just a pass or fail report.
