Today I was thinking that if VW had some magic clean diesel - wouldn't someone else in the industry have been suspicious? They were able to fake it for 8 years or so and no one went "I've studied their specs/tech/ equipment and I don't know how they came up with those #s"? Or does that only happen in professional football inflation scandals - lol. Just amazes me that they were faking #s so grossly that no one was smart enough to pick up on it.

Maybe they did the same? TBD?
