Diesel911 so fuel use is linearly proportional to engine rotation? Is that what your saying? One rotation equals x amount of fuel use no matter the RPM's warm engine or cold, cranking or idling? That makes sense I guess, I always thought in order to start an engine you needed like a burst of extra fuel while cranking. So if this is true it would always be better to shut down and restart strictly from a fuel saving stand point?
What about a turbo charger? Do I even want to go down that road? lol
Sorry if I'm a diesel ignoramus, my knowledge is limited to what I've learned in the 9 month ownership of my car, 87' 300D.
Thanks
