Fresh VW gate news. The approved VW fix results in increased fuel consumption and corresponding carbon footprint, negligible NOx reduction. https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/5788903/new-dieselgate-claims-as-volkswagens-use-14-more-fuel-after-emissions-cheat-fix/ https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/3434697/the-vw-customers-terrified-to-drive-after-software-update-caused-their-cars-to-lose-power-on-the-motorway-doing-60mph/ |

For what it is or is not worth The Sun is a UK tabloid "newspaper" with at best an interesting history when it comes to factual reporting. |

The Sun should not be taken as in any way a reputable or accurate source of news. Page 3 (Google it; NSFW) is about the only thing it does with any sort of trustworthiness. Also, speaking as the owner of a Dieselgate Jetta that went under the knife for the fix... We've seen negligible differences in performance or economy since it was performed nearly six months ago. Perhaps the EU-approved modifications were different and had a greater impact, but in our usage on a US-model vehicle it's barely perceptible. |

Hey now... Lets not all pick on The Sun too terribly. Page 3 is a fine institution, supported by only the UK's finest daily-delivered fishwrap. It was also something of a given that anything that VW did would be picked apart by regulators and hungry shar...Lawyers. Announcing that the fixes reduce fuel economy plays into that narrative which could be a basis for further legal fees and long-running lawsuits, reality be dammed. |

Ok I'll rephrase. The Sun is a shining (pun intended) example of quality UK journalism. |
