David Horgan 564 Posted June 11, 2019 A ‘major discrepancy’ between official petrol car CO2 emissions and real-life on-road testing has led an independent emissions testing agency to warn of an emerging ‘petrolgate’ scandal. Official CO2 figures for petrol cars tested by the firm are ‘significantly underestimating the real-world emissions’. It suggests a 24 percent difference between official CO2 figures and real-world test Just read this , cant help it can they , the establishment is just asking to ruin the entire motor trade in my mind Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
