Given the people here publishing results about P&G it is sure to be producing tons of extra pollutants. The research I've done thus far is not peer reviewed nor published and I haven't had a lot of time to complete it.
I've been running a ferret 5 gas analyzer on the tailpipe and using its onboard datalogging to record the gas output of a constant cruise versus shutting the engine off for 25 seconds then bump starting it for a moderate acceleration back to 120kph.
It still needs more test data and different vehicles to arrive at a statistically significant result. Thus far summing the sample interval (5 seconds I think) the output of HC/NOX and COX gasses were in the neighbourhood of 5-6x that of a steady cruise the entire time.
We don't have e-tests in Quebec but the vehicle is in decent running shape, good compression/leakdown with a proper factory cat installed.
