Yeah, that doesn't make it right, though. I don't think they measure in emissions per mile, do they? AFAIK (Could be wrong, don't keep up on it) they measure the emissions as a function of time, not distance travelled.

If this were the case, the largest section of cars that got higher mileage would also probably pass emissions, even with higher (per time period) emissions, because the emissions per mile would be less, due to the higher fuel economy.
