so girlfriends b13 is getting about 18-20 mpg on average, about 200 miles per tank.

we drive with the windows down, and roll them up at stop lights and turn on the a/c, then roll the windows back down when we go. its f***ing hot here. thats what got it up to 20 mpg.

plugs arent too old, fram filter is pretty clean, cant smell gas or anything so there shouldnt be a leak, idle is so low it dies sometimes when i put it in drive. i advanced the timing a little bit, but gas milage didnt change, its just a little quicker now. idk whats wrong.

any suggestions?

i just got the codes off the ecu and it was a 32 egr malfunction, could that be the reason for the gas mileage, and what could it mean exactly? just look at the egr?
