How do figure that? The fact is, less oxygen means less fuel, (the engine management computer compensates to keep mixture correct) hence less power. Less power, less work. Just because you need to press on the throttle pedal a little further won't affect wear. Unless you're worried about the throttle pedal itself wearing out.


Cheers.
