emissions scandal expands in scope, likely including gas cars in addition to
diesels.

Autoblog Minute.
VW claims that the majority of vehicles affected have diesel engines. Industry analysts say a 1.4-liter gas engine is also affected.
VW CEO Matthias Müller called the investigations a painful process, and pledged to stop at nothing and nobody in pursuit of the truth.
These latest CO2 revelations add to the broader diesel emissions scandal that sees halted sales of some diesel-powered Volkswagen, Audi, and Porsche models. For Autoblog, I'm Adam Morath.
