Can we finally expect 'real MPG' figures after the scandal?

[diseasex]

I think you will find there needs to be a victim or someone who has lost something as a result of it. I hardly think standing up in court and whining that the BHP in your car has caused you any harm is going to land anyone in trouble.

Quick math : based on 10000miles a year for 2 years @ 110p/l for diesel:
58mpg @ 20000 miles = £1724
90mpg @ 20000 miles = 1099
so Seat / VW ripped me off on £625.

So get to it and sue them for your financial loss, make sure you do it publicly, get the press involved and have a really nice shout about it in your impeccable Engrish.

And can you prove what your driving habits were? You may just have a heavy right foot or be a bit of a boy racer.

I can guarantee they can take a model of that car and get the 90 mpg they claim - the problem is yours for not driving as economically as they did during the official tests.

All i'm saying really is if they are rigging tests in a way that : if (isTest) then (reduceEmissions())
that might also be if (isTest) then (reduceConsumption()). So screw their tests really...
And i'm driving VERY economically.

Either way , hopefully they will target this problem finally, just saying.

You think that dribble NAT posted makes me believe that you're not some sockpuppet? Don't be absurd, both he and Cojak have posted similar in the past and then it's turned out to be a different story. I admit that I get reminded of

It's a shame really. Apart from your pathological obsession with sock puppets and hatred of SY01, you generally make good posts. Be a good chap and give it a rest about the sockies.

Diseasex - don't provoke him.

Well if not provoking him means not posting at all then that's a 'no'
