Bring in your car so we can break it...

How do you get a car owner to do that? Bring it on in, and you’ll drop your MPG by nearly 12 miles per gallon for highway driving, shorten engine life, as well as creating much more maintenance requirements for your car to operate.

Yet a air pump that injects into the exhaust stream is a perfectly legal method of reducing measured tailpipe emissions.

Good thing VW set aside 7 billion, as I think they’re going to need every penny of it JUST to convince drivers.

No, exhaust MASS OUTPUT of certain gas species is measured. Even the certain gas species in the test site ambient air are measured so dilution with ambient air is accounted for.
