One of the most stupid things is to measure exhaust at idle. This stupid method INCREASED POLLUTION.
IF you really want to reduce pollution you measure pollutants per mile.
VW and Audi are on target but not politically correct.
“IF you really want to reduce pollution you measure pollutants per mile.”
Correct you are.
Exactly. They did something technically correct, AND something which put the interests of their customers ahead of idiot regulators, and this makes them BAD guys?????? How many companies do you see that put their customers first, and protect them against runaway goobermint?? They should get a parade, not detained.
Obviously I understand the goober-drones being angry with them, but even normal people (those whose income supports the goobermint rather than the reverse) seem to view this as a bad thing. I don't get it.
Well actually, per ton-mile, so you get a real efficiency number rather than putting a thumb on the scales for smaller vehicles.
