Your local engine turner cannot tune your car to meet emission standards on iso-butanol or any other fuel. He simply does not have the equipment to accurately measure vehicle emissions and certify that the vehicle meets EPA standards. That is unless your local turner is a EPA / CARB certified emission lab.
Your link has nothing about NY encouraging people to modifying their old cars. They are encouraging people to buy new cars that use less fuel and use commercially produced and tested biofuels.

If you can tune an engine for pure Ethanol then you can tune an engine for pure Butanol. It is a laughable joke to say you can't tune for one when both are alcohol fuels.
IF you look at the link for the NYS DMV,
THEY ARE ENCOURAGING CONVERSIONS, age of the car does not matter! An eco-friendly car is an eco-friendly car!
So why are we arguing over difference?
