To demonstrate compliance with a NMOG standard, NMOG emissions shall be measured in accordance with the 'California Non-Methane Organic Gas Test Procedures'. In the case of vehicles using fuels other than base gasoline, the level of NMOG emissions shall be adjusted bsised on the reactivity of the emissions relative to vehicles using base gasoline.
