That's efficiency! Diesels are more efficient than gassers = produce less waste heat. But in both cases doing the same driving with less fuel leads to less heat being lost.
You should keep your intercooler uncovered - diesels are more efficient when the intake air is cool, gassers like warm air. My IC is covered only at start-up, once the coolant warms to 60°-70°C I open the IC's half of the grille block.
