As a matter of interest
What fuel consumption are you hitting?
I have a 2008 D5 SE Sport AWD
I’m getting about 35mpg but she does get a few hard spurts (Polestar upgrade)
I’m told. They need a blast every now and then.

Watching some videos on carbon buildup/blocked EGRs and stuck swirl flaps, I am wondering if I am doing more harm than good.

Is it wise to work the car hard every now and then? If so, is there a recommended method to this?
