Improvement of Fuel economy with equipment and driving technique.
Totally. In city traffic with speeds averaging below 30kph I am already getting almost 800km on 1 tank. Less than 30kph is really bad traffic, I usually do around 35-36kph averages but recently doing abit more peak hour traffic. Once I get back on my usual routine I'll see if it goes above 900-1000km. Pretty sure it would do that on NSHW. The diff ratio on the diesel is tall and at 110kph the engine is doing less than 2,000 rpms.

Re: Improvement of Fuel economy with equipment and driving technique.
That would get less exhaust gas into your combustion chambers and increase efficiencies..........
Redirecting exhaust gas back into your engine while displacing fresh air - yikes ...... And getting the Diesel engine tuned as well would get some more mileage .....

Re: Improvement of Fuel economy with equipment and driving technique.
Huh sibey confused. Increase EGR = increased exhaust gas recirculation = MORE exhaust gas into intake. No? My understanding wrong meh. For efficiency, it should be reduce EGR.
My only concern is that the reduction in EGR (i.e. LESS exhaust recirculated into the intake) would mean higher emissions and would also cause the DPF to clog up faster. This may be counter-intuitive if the car keeps doing a passive regen of the DPF by injecting fuel into the exhaust.
Let's take this offline bro... will buzz you soon. Very busy this and next week (due to a shorter week).

Haha ! The parameters for EGR is counter intuitive ...... You tweak it by increasing or decreasing fresh air - which is what the parameter for EGR is referring to .....
That controls the EGR valve - all else remains status quo including the dpf regen.........
