Categorically refuse to believe the rest of the automotive industry haven't in one or another falsified their fuel economy figures.

Only time will tell.

They all do it, we've known for decades. But now everyone is pretending they didn't know, as an excuse to act shocked so they can pretend to be appalled by the automotive industry.

People who go shouting this crap around need to get back in the real world, and see that there are bigger fish to fry.  like stop strangling the automotive industry and start supporting it. People are blind to the reality that we need it.

Well if the people who run vose had there way they would have modifications as an mot failure as its not as the vehicle came out the factory. But in turn that would mean some business would be put of work.
Your right that ita been going on for time though.

Yeah I read that today. 37 best selling diesels tested. And the cleanest one was 3 times the limit, the worst was 10 times!  Dirty, dirty diesels  :sick:
