Well that didn't take long.
Last year VW, more recently Fiat Chrysler (Dodge Trucks), and now GM / Chevrolet Trucks are all accused of and or have already been (VW) fined for rigging their diesel motors to bypass emissions standards. All GM diesel trucks from 2011-2016 are involved with this one, and 705,000 Silverado a Sierra pickups..

The question is;
Where does this 'Fine' money go?
-
Good, all that emmision crap usually decreases power horribly. Not to mention usually makes mileage worse. Mine isn't in that year range but glad I drive a Dmax.
-
They crack down on this, yet allow modified diesels to pour out black smoke .
-
I thought we cancelled that stupid agency.
-
So if you drive diesel you're a dirty cheater
-
I was under the impression that they were all doing this.
-
Paying for $300 staplers. Obviously.

The money should go toward road maintenance
