Mitsubishi Admits to Manipulating Fuel Testing for Decades

Japanese carmaker Mitsubishi Motors said on Tuesday that it did not comply with the country's standards for fuel-economy testing on cars sold in Japan for 25 years.

The company said an external committee has been tasked with investigating what led employees to use improper testing methods and to overstate the fuel economy of Mitsubishi vehicles in data dating back to 1991, the Guardian reported.
