Different pollution, not necessarily more. Tuning the engine for more fuel efficiency generates more nitrogen oxides (above the legal limit in this case) and less carbon dioxide.

That's a fair nitpick, but my reply to the parent comment still stands - that the regulation was about pollution, and not engine performance.
