Happy new year, VW: Uncle Sam sues over engine cheatware

John Tserkezis

Ah, let me tell you about the EPA.

"The lawsuit covers four complaints made on behalf of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)"

The EPA (pick your favorite version) can be just as corrupt as any other agency.

The EPA in Australia was stopping all motorcycles on a popular weekend route to check to see if their tanks had an "Unleaded fuel only" sticker on it. (back when leaded fuel was still sort-of available). Apparently, many took the sticker off for cosmetic reasons.

Great you say, except someone at the EPA forgot to check that the sticker requirement had been repealed TWO YEARS EARLIER.

By far most had paid up and didn't know you could get your money back. The EPA made a killing on that. The crooks.
