What bothers me more that it is illegal to fiddle with ECU, but its completely legit to manufacture and sell cars with gearboxes designed according to test conditions, not real driving needs (so the engine runs either too low, or too high in real driving conditions).

(Set aside fact that it is also legal to strip the car down for test purposes)
