Europe has “maybe 6 weeks or so (of) jet fuel left,” the head of the International Energy Agency said Thursday in a wide-ranging Associated Press interview, warning of possible flight cancellations “soon” if oil supplies remain blocked by the Iran war.
IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol painted a sobering picture of the global repercussions of what he called “the largest energy crisis we have ever faced,” stemming from the pinch-off of oil, gas and other vital supplies through the Strait of Hormuz.

Well, first off, VW also includes SEAT, Škoda and Porsche that also use their diesel engines (Porsche no longer does after Dieselgate).
I’m also not sure what you mean by “only the TDI models”. They haven’t been making naturally aspirated models in decades. They’re pretty uncommon these days.
Secondly, VAG was the first to get caught, but many manufacturers were cheating. Including Renault and Citroën, which I imagine might be moderately common in France.
