Most likely the problem is in the throttle body passageways to the egr . If you can do this yourself it can be a $ saver. Remove the T/Body and gasket. Be careful of the gasket as it can rip. Look for carbon build up behind the T/Body. Use a small screwdriver and rag with some carb cleaner to remove the carbon, it may also be on the body. DO NOT soak the throttle body in carb cleaner, you will ruin it. Only use spray cleaner. Also your mileage can be affected by other items, ie fuel filter, air filter, driving habits, quality of fuel etc. Good luck.
