Take this for what its worth given the source that its coming from. Volkswagen who has been at the center of a storm because of diesel cars that had software on them that cheated emissions tests put out some news that less cars than previously thought were affected by this cheating:
Volkswagen said only about 36,000 vehicles were affected, far fewer than the 800,000 for which it said last month it had understated CO2 emissions and consequently their fuel usage.
“Only a small number of the model variants of new cars will have the catalog (CO2) figure slightly adjusted,” VW said.
So…. Volkswagen has declared Volkswagen innocent. Or at least not as guilty as previously thought. Do I buy that? No. But I’m jaded, skeptical, and not really the trusting type. I’d love to see someone like the EPA confirm that this is true before I give VW a pass on this.
