Did you not see the part where he said once won't hurt it?

It's not going to hurt anything on your car, but you probably won't get as good of gas mileage as you usually do.

.... WOW! :trophy:

I said once wont hurt it.

Don't make it a habit

This probably means that once wont hurt it and you shouldn't make it a habit. In other words, it will cause no long term problems. You might notice a slight buck in the car when you accelerate, you might notice worse gas mileage, you might notice that you don't have the same power...

But none of this stuff will hurt your car if you only do it once.
