Mitsubishi mileage fraud

Mitsubishi Motors Corp. said it will book a charge of 50 billion yen ($480 million) this fiscal year to compensate buyers for manipulating fuel-efficiency ratings, as it admits to falsifying test data for 20 models that it sold in Japan in the past decade.
Mitsubishi will compensate 100,000 yen (almost $1,000) to each minicar owner and will separately pay for the difference in gasoline costs and tax, Chairman Osamu Masuko said at a press briefing in Tokyo Friday. It will also pay 30,000 yen each to owners of five other models for which the carmaker manipulated mileage data
