Ohh, I didn'r realize that you were in Europe, does your car have an
catalytic converter? Probably not, is my guess. In that case the procedure
you used are a lot closer to the real procedure then if it had a catalytic
converter. My car had a lot better milage after I raised the control
pressure a bit, the exhast gas temperature are a bit higher but dangerously
high.
