No Phase 1 "fix": I filled up my tank and left home at 10:00 AM yesterday and did about 8 hours of driving (round trip) together with 8 shutdowns/startups at rest stops and historical sites. I did five 3 minute idle cool downs before 5 of the shutdowns after working the turbo hard. I drove probably 1 hour on very hilly and washed dirt roads, some places were only passable in 1st gear. During that time, I didn't get above 15 MPH. The rest of the time was split between gravel and paved roads driving between 20 and 65 MPH. I traversed a total of 343 miles and used approximately 6 gal. of diesel. The estimated range left was 345 miles. Calculated, that's approximately 57.2 MPG for my trip yesterday.
This is the typical performance that I see for my vehicle. General driving style: high gear, low RPM.
