My main purpose in this was a test of before and after
with new injectors.  Once upon a time I got that type
of fuel mileage.  Now 2 of my injector spray patterns
are pretty bad and 1 drips.  They are NOT dirty. 
They've had so much Jectron and Techron, you can eat
off them (and the combustion chambers).  I just think
age, mileage, etc. have taken their toll on the
internals of the injectors.  So I now have some new
ones from Kristian at VM.  I'll be making this same
500 mile trip later so I can compare fuel mileage
under the same conditions.
