This is the first time I've been able to take a reading since installing the Bosch Stage III's on my LT4. One tank doesn't mean much statistically, but I got a little over 19.5 on my latest tank, vs. between 18 and 18.5 previously. Hopefully the gain will be consistent over time. I have a couple of long trips coming up soon - last year I got about 25 on a trip out of town, so I'll see how it does now.

Be sure to check the old fashioned way and compare. New injectors means new potential for the ECM to be inaccurate on how much fuel it thinks is being used on each pulse.

Yeah, I always use the old-fashioned method to check mileage. I made sure to reset the ECM after putting in the new injectors. I also did notice that the wildly inaccurate INST MPG reading seemed higher than I was used to for the most part.

Major real difference for me - a change from 18-19 highway to 23-24 highway. My trip computer also agrees with my "actual" measurements: maybe the 1985 computer is too dumb to get confused...

Great to hear - maybe I can squeeze in a few more guilt-free WOT blasts ;-)
