Settlement for incorrect fuel economy rating

Meant to post this in the beginning of this month...

Thought it was odd that 970.1 to 970.2 had 20hp bump while getting a higher mpg hwy

Small Car Lover is infamous around these parts

The linked usa today article does not mention specific models. I only see the Cayenne listed on the epa.gov website. Where do you see the 970.2 is included?

I didn't. I just based it on what they mentioned from 2013 to 2017....2013 being the last year of the 970.1 and just comparing it with the Turbo and Turbo S.

Post that EPA list link

This was the link in the USA Today article to the epa.gov site.

The issue may not be related to the Panamera it uses a different transmission from the Cayenne.
