Yeah, those DPFs burn a ton of fuel, especially during regens. Back before I deleted, I could be going down the highway about 20 miles after reseting my trip mpg meter. It would be fairly stable at about 22 mpg, then all of the sudden it would start to drop, drop, drop, for about 5-10 miles until it would hit 17 mpg. That's when it was doing a regen. That would happen 2-3 times per week. Even in my pre-ecomodder days, that was hard to stomach.
