Have a E220CDi Avantgarde. Looking into how I can improve fuel economy - after doing all the usual things.
Firstly - has anyone any experience of CHIP TUNING Diesel Boxes - which cost between 60-100 pounds - supposedly very easy to fit and give a 20%increase in BHP and Torque and around 15% improved MPG. Has anyone seen any improved MPG with these- if so how much ???
Secondly- It is suggested to use a "sports air filter" to improve air intake therefore fuel economy. Have come across K&N Air Filters - which are made with special cottton fibres in Oil - These come with a Lifetime warranty - but have to be washed every 50000 miles. They supposedly give Better airflow therefore better economy. Anyone tried these or are there any other Air Filters which help improve MPG ???
Any other suggestions for improving MPG welcome......
