Perhaps I wasn't clear about my reasons for asking this question. Of course I know that reading the EGT gauge will not quantify how much fuel is being burned per mile. What I'm interested in is how it can better be used as an aid to fuel efficient driving technique.
"Whether or not you're burning a lot of fuel" is EXACTLY what it is I want to know
