Technical 35.5 mpg

I am tempted to buy a blanking plate and try useing the car with out the egr at all. I have heard you get better mpg and more power and for the sake of £3.50 for the plate it's worth a go.

Proceed with caution on that - heard some horror stories about that.

Its a very good test to see if yours is failing tho
 
mine does 51.8 mpg and fitted a swirl gasget in the egr valve today to prevent the gloging up.

I never get less than that now around town. Motorways close to 50mpg average.
I have had my gp nearly 5 years now and have cleaned and changed the egr numerous times and it is amazing the difference it will make when a new one goes on - it has always improved the fuel consumption by close to 10 mpg.

The problem is you do not notice it is dropping away but i am very aware of the symtoms now.

If you search i have posted lots of stats on this over the years.

Although my figure of 36.5 mpg is what I have always got since I got the car nearly a year ago I have noticed a real drop off in power over the last couple of weeks although MPG hasn't changed. It is going into the garage tomorrow for an inspection but I suspect from the posts on here that the EGR valve is at fault.

Be interesting to see if that is the fault what my MPG goes upto when changed/cleaned.

I noticed that if I change gear at 2000RPM I''m getting about 36mpg in my T-Jet. Previously I was upshifting at 1200RPM (Ecodrive says to change up as early as possible) and I was getting 33mpg.

Still trying to find the sweet spot in it though.
