The cars that were affected were all supermini city cars that were meant for locals only.

 

After being caught falsifying fuel-economy data for the four models, the company was ordered to correct the figures immediately back in April.

It is said in the article that Mitsubishi is aware of similar data errors dating back to 1991.
