Right , A lot of newer engines with variable value timing don't need a EGR valve but the do the same thing (dilute charge) by varying overlap at low speeds-part throttle just like a EGR does .
If the vehicle runs better and gets better mileage w/o EGR then maybe the ignition timing is not advanced as much as it could with EGR on .
