    Unless they are from Volkswagen or Mitsubishi. :cool:
    Neither of whom have been shown to have cheated the European tests. VW were caught in the US, Mitsu in Japan.

    And VW weren't cheating the fuel consumption tests. It was the "real pollutant" emissions they were gaming, not the plant food ones which are (largely) unrelated to NOx levels.

    You've moved the MPG you're getting from 50mpg to 43mpg and now 39mpg in order to justify your stance.

    To be fair, he did say 'never more than 50'

    Anyway, I wonder what his MPG was in his old car, versus the official figures, and whether he chased THAT dealer for 'promising' something he never could. And I wonder how truthful he was with the dealer about his commute.
