If the glow plugs aren't getting max current then they won't heat the cylinder as effectively therefore reducing burn efficiency.

They will stay on while the engine is running. Right here from international's web site:

"The glow plugs may remain "ON" for up to 120 seconds while the engine is running to reduce exhaust emissions during engine warm up."

Only for the first 2 minutes after the engine has been started.Going down the highway at 65 MPH,the glow plugs do not come on.
