if the tube is plugged up with soot, how would that affect mileage on the truck?

the EBP sensor does not see any input with a clogged tube and therefore defaults to a lower fuel map since it thinks there is no load on the engine. lower fuel map mean you have to press go pedal further to provide the same amount of HP at a given RPM.
