Here’s the thing...once they install the upgraded software and your diesel engine goes from 40-odd miles mpg....to 24 mpg with clean-output...how much would you be upset? I’m guessing per owner....you could be talking about $5,000. Trying to sell your clean air-producing diesel with the lower mileage? Figure you lost half the resell value.

Now, here is the scenario that you ought to consider. What if you allow them to upgrade the software, and find yourself Geeky George the computer wiz, who has the previous VW version, and he reverts your car back to the 40-odd mpg situation. I can bet that hundreds of guys will be doing this and making $500 for each reversion episode. I think the EPA will get all hostile when they start to notice this happening.
