Hmm.  Yesterday there was a huge advert to view your credit, which is now gone.  Let me see if I can find the destination page in my history.

EDIT: Here you go.  See if by logging in under your account you get your credit.

I would have lost a fortune to the punters if I had bet on the Brexit.

I was pretty sure I was going to get $25k in Audi credits, which would be just as useless to me, but alas…

Not looking good for you sir.

Here's What Will Happen To The Thousands Of Diesels Volkswagen Buys Back

I've maintained for a while that they could never meet CA Emissions standards without the cheat, but if they can't do a fix for other states either, you won't be able to buy one.

haven't read the article, but after I heard about the $15B yesterday, my mind was churning on how I could get a good deal on one of these.

I don't know if I ever got an answer: if you used biodiesel
