Even Back Home In Korea, Lying About Gas Mileage Can Get Expensive

Guess which South Korean carmaker prompted the South Korean government to tighten its rules about overstating their cars' mileage? Under new South Korean government rules "aimed at reassuring consumers after Hyundai Motor Co's fuel economy fiasco last year" it can cost more than $900,000 if one is caught with overly optimistic mileage claims, Reuters says. What's more, the guidelines to calculate fuel mileage have been changed, which will lead to a 3-5 percent drop in a vehicle's overall stated fuel economy. Hyundai's Sonata sedan, for example, will be said to get 11.4 km per liter, down  from currently 11.9 km. from The Truth About Cars http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com
