SEOUL, Sept. 23 (Xinhua) -- South Korean authorities plan to re- investigate the fuel efficiency of diesel cars, made by the German automaker Volkswagen that is being embroiled in an emission fabrication scandal, Yonhap News Agency reported Wednesday citing the transportation and environment ministries.
