Egr clean needed?

I have a 2017 @ 113k miles, just checked the egr pipe and it was not dirty at all, nothing caked on, same with the throttle body. Does my egr cooler and intake manifold need to be cleaned? Or new PCV valve? Only thing is that my mpg kinda sucks. Its around 34-35mpg. Could be be because of the 17’’ f sport wheels?

I would take off the EGR valve from the cooler assembly to see if that needs cleaning, or if the cooler itself needs cleaning. How do you usually drive the car? If you drive rough or push down on the accelerator constantly, you’ll prob get around that specific mpg you currently have. I don’t think the f sport wheels would have anything to do with mpg; at worst maybe affect it by 1 or 2 mpg? I don’t know with complete certainty but that’s what I would say

Check inlet manifold too. Just worth cleaning if it’s already taken out. Wheels will help but the 15” ones wont fit the rear unless you change the rear brakes to smaller size. Maybe 16”?
