Those of us with diesels find increased MPG when using Millers Dieslel additive. Plus it keeps things cleaner. MPG ain’t class leading but not bad given it’s a big car..
I run a wee Toyota IQ. It runs on fumes. Not sure if I ever mentioned that. Also use it for culling deer.

I am thinking to change the DPF with an emulator and close the Egr. I heard it will increse MPG also. What do you thing about?

Fabiano is from Italy ... but the equivalent question applies - translated to Italian! |

DO NOT mess with the EGR on these cars. No way never....... I would leave the DPF alone as well... These cars have extremely sophisticated Denso electronics and you may open one hell of a can of worms. Ford Transit Vauhalls maybe but not Toyotas and certainly not with a derivative of the 2.2 2AD engine and it’s controlling electronics. |

To be honest yes.. it not legal even here in Italy.. but its a practice that italians usually do.. it's risky

mmm this sounds good
BTW I followed your advice and just bought an additive for dieasel... hope it will improve my current 26 MPG (city circuit)  ... at least a bit
Inhibiting the dpf valve was just an (at this point stupid) idea....
