Mitsubishi's dieselgate: cheating since 1991

Yup Cory’s incorrect, I barely read the BB and clicked to the mitsu statement. It’s not nearly as dramatic as VW, or as evil. And if other markets, foreign govts actually test fuel economy themselves rather than leaving to the maker/importer, then it could very well be limited to the kei cars wherever they were sold, or similar with the same guts.

Personally I’d love one even if the advertised mileage were off, still probably better than many.

But while Cory was well off the mark, like, altogether, the comparison between VW & this isn’t completely off. If a consumer believes a false mileage rate & never bothers to calculate it themselves in daily use they do end up unknowingly raising their emissions.

Why the heck can’t I get a kei car anyway, at least without jumping through a buncha hoops. The son of the owner of the last company I contracted to, years ago, brought one over, Cute-As-A-Button.
