injector and mpg

i have been reading around about in jectors but i cant find anything on fuel milage. i have heard its stays the same when your going easy and only changes when you hammer on it so like around town drive is the same and i have also heard that it all around takes you milage and throws it out the window so can any 1 help out and clear this up for me ?

From what I understand injectors shouldn't give you much mileage increase. How much of a increase are you looking for??

I've seen some mfr's claim anywhere from 1-6mpg increase.

I too have been thinking about injectors (no box). Just can't seen to justify it yet.

Crazy Larry alone gets very hot on a stock turbo!
