But ya, funny how Innovative sponsors the test, and they do best, and their direct competitor does the worst!

Well maybe it wasn't the EPA, I didn't take notes with the insider I was discussing with.
But the fact of the matter is there was a higher up agency of sorts that was concerned with the amount of failing 02 sensors (therefore showing a huge quality control issue for NTK and Bosch). Since the 02 manufactures were being cracked down on by this agency, they decided to do something about the people actually causing the delima (the wideband manufactures that do not know how to control a heater circuit on a linear o2 sensor).
