California emissions and tall transmissions
So, IIRC, the California smog test runs the car at a handful of different speeds measured in mph, not rpm, and tracks emissions. If my car runs at lower RPMs at those speeds due to 20% taller gearing, will it also show lower emissions?

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.
