My MPG results from the CTS tricker based on 8 basline data points (per leg), against 3 data points (per leg) post-CTS tricker:
My daily commute has 4 legs, but only #1 and #3 are from a cold start (where the CTS tricker is applicable), and both are the exact same terrain path, - the only difference being that #1 is in the morning and #2 is afternoon (warmer temps).
Leg #1 +6.05% MPG
Leg #3 +9.71% MPG
I'm not sure why leg #3 does better, but the numbers will probably level out more as I get more data points.
The actual coolant and air temps are significantly higher at the end of the afternoon leg, but that was true before the CTS-tricker as well.
I would've guessed leg #1 would show more gain, but time and the data will tell.
I'd love to jump into the EGR discussion in another thread. I don't want to clutter this one.
