“They thought they were doing something good for the world and they find out they’ve been driving the dirtiest pig on the road.”

To pay for the environmental harm caused from illegal “defeat devices” used to cheat on emissions tests in cars, German automaker Volkswagen AG and related companies will pay

The new rules are designed to cut exhaust fumes and gasoline evaporation from gas-powered lawn mowers.
