My guess is the majority of manufacturers will be guilty of cheating the system in some way.

Try all of them. Open season was just declared and govco has a scattergun with unlimited ammo...

Of course GM would be involved. They're as shifty as they come!

National crisis looming, commodores don't pass emissions test.
Oh, the humanity.....

Yes it was many years ago but demonstrates that VW is not alone at trying to circumvent emissions requirements.

also demonstrates that some companies will do almost anything to make money .

that is about the size of it , and while it may have been a surprise vw would be one of those companies to be in that category , some others it is no surprise at all .

Is excessive methane emissions not covered under EPA rules?

You were not the only one to do that. I removed the PCV hose between the engine and the air cleaner on my first car.

I put a ball bearing in the hose.
