Will inoperative EGR adversely effect fuel economy ?
For the most part, functioning EGR will slightly improve part-throttle and light cruising MPG.

Here is small tip for fuel economy. On the distributor cap there is a small black cap. Pull it off. When you pull off the ionized air will escape. This way there will be no crossfire between cylinders. I don't know how much it helps but it makes sense.

Interesting tip....hmm but wont it be a risk for moisture to get in?
Any info about cleaning the egr system??? There is a thing that attaches to the TB, looks like a cone. Is that part of the EGR system? Should I spray that with brakecleen???
