Before the mod, I would occasionally get 30mpg, on highway drives and that was when I was being gentle on the pedal. I filled up today, after driving 45 miles. 30 miles of that was on interstate, using cruise control at 65mph. 15 miles of that included a good bit of pedal to the metal, performance testing.
Before the mod - 25 -30mpg
After the mod - 39mpg
Cost of mod $2.08 (Radio Shack)
Kartek, Thank you for your diligent research and effort on figuring this EGR bypass out.
Now, I need to figure out why my injector closest to the firewall is seeping fuel. I have replaced the leak lines with viton and still seeping.

You only covered a few miles, from what you posted, less than a tank... And the EGR won't make such a difference in regards to MPG's.... considering the EGR is active during idle....
But congrats!
