oh, basically the Volkswagen trick. Cars would run dirty while normal but switch into running clean mode when doing emissions testing. VW got caught and paid billions in fines and had to recall a lot of vehicles.
they figured it out because the advertised mpg was so much high than the emissions testing mpg - both were accurate because clean mode destroyed the mpg
Boy, isn't it interesting? More miles per gallon = less gasoline pumped and used; but more emissions control = more gasoline pumped and used but less "emissions". What a catch-22!

Kinda like the ethanol scam.
