yeah the CO2 allegations are a new level of bad for the company.

so i own a 2014 Jetta 1.8: TSI and to be honest i have never felt i have gotten the advertised gas mileage. no doubt most of it comes down to how i drive so i dismissed it to city driving, tires, the cold of Winnipeg etc but with this i have to wonder if there is a larger issue.

that said, everyone who owns an affected VW have at their fingertips a fuel mileage display (but who knows how well those even work)...if they were actually interested in fuel usage would they have/should they have noticed they were not getting what was advertised. perhaps they explained it away as i did.

but given the number of cars involved, im curious as to either why this took so long before anyone actually looked into this and/or how VW though they could get away with this for as long as they did?
