heard the EGR valve can be responsible for poor mileage, use seafoam and suck it through a vacuum hose, and pour some in the gas tank, clean the EGR out

damn.u did alot.. do u drive like a mad man..?

knock sensor should fix it.. dont worry a buot exhaust..it has very little to do with your milage unless u have a tennis ball stuck somewhere in your piping.

CEL is the check engine light. is yours on.. pull the codes from it. it will tell you exactl which components need replacing. any self respecing mechanic shold have done htat for you.
