The EGR removal does not gain you anything.. it helps control combustion chamber temps, keeping them below 2500 F and preventing bad NOX emissions. The v8 in these actually got decent MPG as they could zip along on the highway at barely more than idle.. The engine could overpower the little car so easy the only real factor is your foot.. I drove one in college when they were new,, the V6 got well into the high 20's and that was beating it like a rented mule..
