    This exists solely to game fuel efficiency tests, because the tests were/are designed with long periods of idling.

    They basically added a feature that uses more fuel in 99% of real world scenarios, to beat fuel efficiency tests in a controlled environment, then greenwashed it as a fuel efficiency “feature”. Isn’t capitalism fun?

    They knew the structure of the tests beforehand, and regulators haven’t changed the tests, because we live in corporate dictatorships masquerading as “democracy”.
