I'm not surprised Posted by AdamB [Email] (#3) [Profile/Gallery] (more from AdamB) on Wed, 23 Sep 2015 07:54:50 In Reply to: VW Emission Scandal, EGD [Profile/Gallery] , Tue, 22 Sep 2015 10:09:52 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
The car manufacturers try every trick in the book - and then some - to get the best (both official and perceived) mileage and still pass emissions testing.
This is not the first thing VW have done which in my opinion is questionable (but not illegal). Speedometers in newer VWs are consistently showing 10% less than real speed. That is the maximum allowed deviation by EU law. This is of course so owners think they get better mileage than they really do.
If you think you're going 75 mph and in reality are going closer to 65 mph, then of course you get a falsely high mileage...
