It will not take long to pay for the injectors since you almost doubled the MPG.

It surely will - though you may soon be listing to one side due to sitting on that thicker wallet

Yes they will - but that's a good thing. We should all do our best to stick it to 'em wherever we can - God knows they've been sticking it to all of us long enough!

Wow, I'll be looking forward to getting better gas mileage then. Amazing how much of a difference new injectors make.

I realize too how important good injectors are for mpgs. Went to the Atlanta race last weekend and got 17 mpg on the highway turning 2100 rpms and that's about seven better than I was getting before.
