Mitsubishi has been cheating fuel economy tests for 25 years

Last week, Mitsubishi admitted that it had cheated fuel economy tests for some 625,000 vehicles. Now, the Japanese carmaker says its history of improper testing goes back 25 years. It’s unclear at the moment how widespread this manipulation was, or how many vehicles it affects, but the backlash against Mitsubishi has been swift.

One of the most successful incarnations of the team was the 90’s cartoon X-Men: The Animated Series. This cartoon ran for years, both live and in syndication, and featured an exciting group of mutants who teamed up to kick ass.
