The issue with "smog" software is the concept that it causes a loss of performance or old lady driveability.
Notice I said concept. The hypermilers here are accepting things to get high mileage results that I won't do, mostly for my convenience. Sure aren't going to get Joe Average to buy into KOEO pulse and glide or high EGR.
Mentioning EGR: back in my hotrodding days, EGR was a serious thing to avoid because it reduced HP in a vehicle that the typical was trying to squeek the last bit of HP/performance out of.
Todays cars are making more power cleaner than ever. Imagine a stock aircooled VW making 200+ hp reliably for 100,000 miles or more and passing CALI smog rules. Kind of boggles the mind. No valves to adjust, no points to set, never fiddle with the carb, just gas and go.
