Yes you see this already for long time in forced induction cars. If you drive like in the cycle you will get good fuel economy, but it you drive like regular people and for example the turbo spools, fuel economy suffers at the expense of performance. What is particularly egregious here is that NOx levels were gamed to 10-40x, not fuel economy (and directly CO2) to something like just 5-10%. In my personal view it is not German government directly so much as for the tax incentives to keep the unrealistic cycles in place (which then the gov gets involved partly for votes and partly for large industry to be able to still easliy sell more reasonably priced cars).
- PythonicAlpha 11y agoAs much I read, the difference between "standard cycle" and realistic driving is currently at 30-40%. And I guess, there is no realistic way, may you be a good driver as ever possible, to reach these consumption levels. And I don't agree: The tax incentives are also made by the government and the taxes are of course based on the official (forged) numbers. Also when you argue the fuel tax will make it right: No, I don't agree, because the consumers can not decide -- they are also lied at with the wrong numbers!
