Me again Ron. ( The pest !! )
If you check the emissions and soot particles ejected from a vehicle running efficiently at 60 mph on the flat versus another identical vehicle maintaining 60 mph up a 1 in 10 slope does not the vehicle on the slope pass much more soot through EGR valve back into the engine ??? Put a greater coating of black inside the exhaust pipe and soot particles into the engine oil ??? It's this muck plus unburnt fuel that clogs the EGR valve and blocks the cat and reduces its efficiency is it not ???
Don't think it does your lungs much good either when the person in front of you gives his car the boot and you disappear in a giant black cloud of whatever is not being burnt. Lol.
Told you I was "a pest", didn't I ???
It's just that I can't see at what point of booting or thrashing your car everything becomes cleaner !!!!! Especially the poor bloke behind you who now looks like a Panda.


PMSL. Sorry Ron, I really am.
