The EPA and California standards only limit emissions. There's a *lot* of room for different ECU-controlled engine behavior within those limits, and there's no logical reason that an EPA/CARB-compliant car can't adapt its maps to the driver, as well as to the local weather and the aging and deterioration of its own components.
