E85 is clean. A typical FFV driver can prevent 4 tons of lifecycle carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and other harmful pollutants from entering our air every year by fueling with E85 instead of gasoline. Using E85 can reduce tailpipe emissions such as ozone-forming pollutants by about 20%. E85 will also reduce evaporative emissions of air toxics and ozone formers.

Guys, I think what he was getting at was that there is less emissions from the actual car itself, hence why he got a test-pipe. Not the overall process of making E-85>burning it in your car.
