Default Sucking too much gas

I have a 1987 Mustang LX 2.3, stock. Can anyone tell me why I am only able to get about 120 - 140 miles on a full tank of gas. I am getting like 8 - 10 per gallon when I should be getting 18 - 20. I have changed the fuel injectors and I am still getting the same problems, maybe I got the wrong injectors. Please help.

Take off the parking brake so you dont have to floor it 100% of the time.

Start by scanning the codes and letting us know what you find. If you had the wrong injectors you would probably have drive issues.

I hook it up to the computer and I got code 34 EGR valve. I forgot the whole thing but it had to do with the EGR valve and high pressure or something.

I dont see the egr causing that sort of gas loss. You have something else going on. Bad sensor, bad 02, something somewhere is wrong...
