Somebody has to do it, why not me?
My defense of VW is based only on the buyer of the cars.
When they get 50 mpg driving the Diesel VW, this does the environment a lot of good. Better than only getting 40 mpg. At the lower mpg, they use 20 percent more fuel and put out more pollution.
The issue is over the oxides of Nitrogen. There are simply far too few VW Diesels for this issue to matter.
The EPA of the USA is a draconian institution.
It never disciplines itself the way it does to others. When it pollutes, it show up at Congress in the person of Gina McCarthy and creates crafty excuses.
There are cars globally producing a lot more NO than here in America. Save petroleum by getting 20 percent more economy.
VW should be congratulated not shamed into firing top people.
