Default Fuel Consumption

My fuel mileage has dropped considerably. So much that im getting about 100+ miles less out of a tank of gas. What would cause this to happen? My car still seems to run fine but it just isnt getting good fuel mileage..

I would say the EGR is starting to clog up. It directs gas waste back into the chambers to substitute fuel, that's what helps fuel economy anymore. So the EGR valve, which is right on the block and is most likely "sooted" up <--get it, "sooted=suited" up, lol. Sorry, I'm pooped.
When I pulled mine off, there were 2 centimeters worth of soot/carbon buildup. I saw where the metal started and the buildup started and it was thick!
