Efficient sure, but are we polluting less?

I understand that my EOC jags mean that my car is emitting less toxic gas across a given mile, on average. But I am curious about the emmisions while my car is ON. Have you wondered about this? When I bump start the rev spin up briefly a few hundred RPMs sometimes. I have advanced ignition timing 2* and have installed a WAI. When the engine is on, I wonder how I am doing relative to ordinary stock. Knowing at least hypothetically would help me estimate my total output relative to pre-ecomodding days. Anyone thought this through yet?

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
