No one really new how the 'fix' would affect the new mileage, performance, or future value. 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. Yup. I would guess the average guy wouldn't even notice but it must have been enough to get them to take this huge chance. I have to believe the guy who made this decision at the corporate level was sent packing but who knows. This actually might be more a performance hit than a fuel economy hit. Did the state/feds demand you fix this? I also wonder if these will be hot sellers in places with no emission testing. I bet there are guys who would want to hack their car the other way. I see plenty of ads for reflashing ECUs or new chips on other cars to boost horsepower. |
