:agrue:

I am trying to get better gas millage. My personal best so far is like 24mpg. I think some of you out there are getting more like high 20's I have done allot to try to increase my MPG but I still want to do more.
I was wondering if cleaning out the EGR would be helpful. any thoughts?

the top three came right off but I guess from what I was reading I have to get under the car and take off the other side of the tube? Does that sound right? You know of any shortcuts?
