The EGR code shouldn't be a problem. Or at least not one to cause bad mileage. You might try cleaning the MAF sensor as well. And I agree jack it up and spin the tires. A stuck caliper could be dragging and causing bad mileage. Of course check the air filter, but they'll hold a lot LOT of junk before restricting flow significantly.

I have the same truck. Mine is stock other than Edge evolution. Before I made the changes below I was getting 12-13 around town. Now I am running AMSOIL synthetics, their fuel concentrate and cetene booster (at every fill up).
Now I am getting 15.8 (manual calculation this morning actually) around town and about 17 on long trips. That is with a fairly heavy foot.
If you would like some information on anything just shoot me a PM.
I pulled the intake to find the egr gunked up .But not pluged . What is a finger stick? Thanks Guys
