True. It is better to prevent this internal pollution. Small distances are therefore also the big enemy of a diesel. I was only referring to the fact that it bad for the actual mileage, which collapses immediately.
Once every year I have the opportunity to sin on the Autobahn
(sorry ecomodders, it feels like a confession)! by flooring (pushing it trough the floor) the car for at least an hour.
The weeks that follow I clearly notice the difference due to a quieter running of the engine and indeed lower consumption.
