should my emissions result be this low, could they be a sign of a problem? i ran my brothers Honda through the same lane a little later and his result were much higher and near the upper limit

 

Early Imprezas are amazingly "clean". Looks like what I've gotten on our early model a few years ago. Don't have it now anymore so I don't have anything to compare it to.

Things look good. As a point of interest, could you tell us what the mileage on the engine is, and whether the cat or front O2 sensor have been replaced (and if so, when)?

it only gets around 23 around town and 28 on the highway i haven't replaced anything and everything looks original to the car (it only has 135k)

Looks Great!

wow they gave you a print out? Do all emission places do that?

 

I'm due next year (every 2 years) I failed the first time because of the gas cap but other then that I passed on everything else.

That's about right. The people who claim 30+ are stretching the truth.

All the emissions places here in WA state.

When my time comes I'm going to see if I can get a print out.

Any car I've had in good condition had similar emissions results.. I've had some even lower than that. The lower = less pollution = good. The emissions places here in Tucson give you a print out for MVD / your records.
