The problem with the environmental problems (currently with VW) and the fuel consumption is, that particularly in the EU, the governments for years (if not decades) turned a totally blind eye on the car manufacturers. The problems with the emission measuring and also fuel measuring was known for long now and in the EU, many wanted to change the measuring methods -- but for example the German government did always block such advances. In my opinion, not only the car manufactures are guilty, but even more the politicians that made it very easy for them to cheat on us all. The additional expenses (at the gas station and with the bad air) carry the consumers. VW is only the tip of the iceberg.
