Emissions Inspection, Setting Drive Cycle C70 1998

My 1998 C70 passed the safety inspection with flying colors on Thursday, but failed emissions because the drive cycle had not been set. The PO installed a new battery, and I had disconnected the battery when I was using an impact wrench on the struts (I didn't want to risk set off the airbags)

What I did not know is that in Missouri the car has to have a full drive-cycle on it before it can even be tested - much less pass ODBII emissions.

Anyway, service station guy told me to take it out, put at least 100 miles on the car and bring it back for the retest.

I went on a 2-hour drive around the metro area through start-stop rush hour traffic and put over 114 miles on the car. I took it back today and it still tests as "not ready" He printed off the drive-cycle info and gave it to me. I believe that I did everything required, but I've got no way of knowing when I cross that threshold.

Can anybody give some advice here - aside from drive the unlicensed car around for another 100+ miles and blindly try again?

I've never heard of anything like this - but this is the first post-1996 car I've ever owned.
