Still getting horrible gas mileage

Ok, I had posted before because I just bought my car and had horrible gas mileage. Well that was the MAP and TPS sensor going bad. I replaced those, and it was doing good for a little bit. Well it got worse again so this time I bought a cable from another board member. So I scanned it myself and I've got a failed right oxygen sensor and a code 32.

I looked up the code 32 on Shoebox's website and it just says EGR. So what am I looking at other than the oxygen sensor needing to be replaced?

I've got a logged scan for the car just running in my driveway for a few minutes if that would help, but I'm not sure how to post it.

You can upload the file to http://www.theupload.com/ for people to download it.

I'd just plug up the EGR and be done with it, as long as you don't remove the EGR stuff, you'll be fine for emissions and safety.. Just fabricate a block off plate, and put vacuum caps on all the lines coming from the intake manifold.

I'd also replace both oxygen sensors while your there, then you won't have to worry about when the other O2 will go out.
