Contrary to a 2002 EPA study that showed a two percent increase in nitrogen oxide emissions when using B20, a new study by the US Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory showed no such increase. The lab tested three transit buses, two school buses, two Class 8 trucks, and one motor coach on a heavy duty chassis dynamometer for the study. They simulated both urban and highway driving on the dyno and measured the emissions. Link from autobloggreen.com
