egr valve/ bad gas mileage

I just bought a 99 civic hx and have been noticing it is only getting about 20 mpg average.. it's throwing a code for the egr valve. I was wondering if that could be the reason for the poor gas mileage?

If indeed it has one, and is throwing a code it needs to be replaced. Will it effect the gas mileage that much? I'm not entirely sure, but it should at least help.

Wow you lack research skills.

JDM D15B's have them, i had to get a Z6 manifold when that shipped in, and put that on.
