87 burns easier. 89 is harder to burn, which is why its more resistant to detonation. If its easier to burn your HC's will go down. HC's are unburnt fuel, CO is partially burnt fuel, and NOX is overly burnt fuel from high combustion temps (2500 degrees). You might wanna try driving your car REALLY easy when you drive to the station.

alright, then in that case, new ones it is... there cheap, **** it, ill do that and oil, and hopefully be in good shape.
I bet that those and an oil change are really all you need. Are those numbers in PPM or GPM?

yah, im MO everything is in one place, and they are apperntly very lax with enforcing emissions testing...in some places. I might just have to bring a cash bribe.... cheaper than buying and installing two cats anyways...
