Some thoughts.

I did quite a few Demo rides in the TDI this weekend, same route, similar temps, similar loads. The fuel economy in the same spots at the same speeds varies significantly. I wonder if this is a potential cause of the SGII issue?

2) EGR: my intake hasn't been cleaned in 50,000 miles which means it probably is 30% plugged, which may affect EGR flow, which may affect engine "load" which would throw it off as well . . . .
