I don’t really care about the VW spy element, there’s plenty of data on all of us out there readily available. But I really don’t need a dongle and app to tell me when I’ve fuelled up and how much it cost me. Even though I’m of advancing age, I have just enough memory capacity left to remember trips to the Shell garage, and thanks to banking texts, that my bank account continues to be drained by the thirsty gas guzzling beast.
