we don't have these in the u.s. but i fyou do short trips and the engine doesn't heat up then you will be down on mileage. also the way you drive can effect this as well.urban driving is a cross between exspressway and city. so if you only do city with no exspressway then it will be donw also. also with a ;diesel your filters should be changed regularly, which means the fuel as well as air filters.
