well, if you already had your EGR blocked off, then the only difference should be the vacuum/boost to the fuel pressure regulator. you could have checked your fuel trims before/after and your A/F ratio before/after, but you don't have a logger.  Didn't you also get new tires? perhaps that had something to do with it also...

Did get new tires. If that's what's doing it, I'm in serious trouble.  The SAVC-R did start learing, BTW.  Oil is black as piss. Must dremel that piece for the new air filter. Maybe after baseball pratice tonight -- if I can stay awake that long.  Best, SJ _________________  Racing is life. Everything else is just waiting. http://umg.mn3s.orghttp://ummo.boards.net

Yeh, gas mileage does drop a little with the EGR blocked. It's because there's more fresh air going thru the motor. It should only drop a couple mpg at the most though.
My mileage dropped a little after blocking it too, but I still get over 475 miles per tank if I keep off the boost. The days of 500+ miles per tank are done though.
Some suggestions I can give you would be to run your tire pressure between 36 and 40psi. I found this gives a harsher ride, but slightly better mileage.
If you knew what you were doing, I would suggest an SAFC and making a leaner low throttle tune, but this can be risky as your cruising EGT's go up.

SJ Then, it shouldn't make any difference in gas mileage. Check for boost leaks?
