Not many of us here are experts here, we're all just trying to do the best we can.
Yeah, I know the EGR is just an emission thing, misguided in my opinion, and I'm not even sure about the economy thing.
As for the Pulse & Glide as said I definately practice this in undulating country, I see every hill as an opportunity and drag out the downhill stretch as long as possible, given favourable traffic conditions, but I am still getting my head around the whole BSFC thing and try to understand how it applies to my vehicle, as I get the aero bits better, then even smaller hills give good opportunities.
I might need to look at getting a duty meter on the injector signal, if I know what the injectors are doing, then that may be a way of evaluating the pulse & glide concept on the flat.
All good food for thought.
