The owners had a choice - buyback or a fix. No one really new how the 'fix' would affect the new

Of course everyone knows. Mileage will go down when they tune the
computer for lower emissions. Otherwise they would not have cheated in
the first place.

Yeah, but no one knows how far down.

Actually, on the Audi boards (that are also affected with their TDI) the word is it is a re-tune along with new exhaust/cats, with similar end results.. Some folks love theirs so much they are talking about keeping them, but then re-tuning them after that "fix" back to original or better state. Some of the tunes allow you to re-install the factory tune when needed, then swapping that back out for the tuned version. On some of the cars (like my 3.0T V6 supercharged gas engine), a tune program can be worth 75+ HP. I'm just not interested.
