May be in smarts or in non maintained very old non-turbocharged diesel

This is like the AC, I never saw an added 1l/100km in my newer car, but may be mine is too well maintained

What was interesting is that these presentations were far more complete than the usual 1 or 2 rules reports on French TV (top 3 : respect speed limits, check tires and maintain the car) saying you will save 33% of gas (ie EPA +50%).
