More fuel consumption, more CO2. Clear. But it's not the cheating story of VW, continued - that was about nitrogen oxide pollutants which was up to 40 times above what is allowed in the US. From the report: > All carmakers have been exploiting ever more flexibilities in the current official tests during 2013 and 2014, but detailed results from Spritmonitor in Germany (Figure 4) show that cars produced by Daimler, PSA and GM exhibit the largest realworld gaps, around 40%.
