Ved rates should be changed to reflect adjusted and non adjusted vehicles but they wont be, the cars will just die a natural death in 10-15 years.

It would be interesting to know how much cleaner the adjusted cars are.

How many flights have you taken to the Far East over the last 10 years?

There has never been any suggestion that CO2 emission levels are affected by this so there would be no change in VED rates in any case.

On Tuesday, VW issued a “clarification” about the CO2 emissions testing of up to 800,000 of its vehicles in Europe. The statement says:

"During the course of internal investigations irregularities were found when determining type approval CO2 levels…It was established that the CO2 levels and thus the fuel consumption figures for some models were set too low during the CO2 certification process."
