fuel mileage

After installing my muffler elimination kit about two months ago and leaving my egr valve unplugged I have been happy getting 18- 21 mpg on the overhead and the math matched it too. I ran the egr unplugged with the muffler on for a month and got better mileage, about 17 mpg. The truck used to get 14-17 town and highway. I have a egr delete kit comming from ebay for a real nice price 6.7L DODGE CUMMINS DIESEL EGR BLOCK OFF PLATE :eBay Motors (item 200358155331 end time Jul-29-09 20:18:50 PDT)
