The
tank from hell is in.
@ 5.92 L/100km - 39.7 mpg(US) it's not too bad.
It's what I used to get some years ago, before slowing down - and I've seen worse
The dealership went through nearly 2/3 of the tank for half the miles.
I used the other 1/3 for the other half - even though I haven't really been hypermiling it.
Actually, it's been doing higher speeds (legal limit), higher rpm than the last year.
The DPF was renewed somewhere around 146500-146600 km.
The first regeneration was at 146987.
The next one a mere 238km later at 147225 - far too quickly. Again.
I'll see what happens on this full tank, but it looks like Hägar isn't cured.
I've just about had it with this car.

The frequent regenerations happen regardless of whether it's been hypermiled or not.

I'm thinking of things like long periods at idle (e.g. E(on)C)

I'm idling while coasting, but otherwise, when the engine is warm I'm idling less than many people.

What I'm getting at is this- did your endeavours to get better MPG have a detrimental effect on the longevity of the components?

Definitely not on the air intake tubing, that's not affected by driving style
