    much better economy after some cleaning/upgrades

    so my chipped autotragic 325i sedan has jumped up quite a bit in the milage department

    on my last 600 round-mile trip i averaged 27.14mpg up from last weeks 20.1mpg (calculated by mileage compared to fill up method not OBC but my OBC is less than .5 mpg off of my calculation)

    i swapped out my stock injectors with a set of freshly cleaned 95 M3 ones fixed my throttle body coolant leak and installed a new cap and gasket on that fitting, put in a new fuel filter, and cleaned the hell out of my throttle body (looks brand new now)

    gas milage sucked for about 150 miles after the injectors were installed but once things settled in its been running so much better... two of the stock injectors were filthy and one was partially clogged i think...

    what else effects the mileage...

    i am going to be doing the o2 sensor and the valve adjustment this weekend (weather permitting)

    in case anyone is wondering the car is basically stock except the injectors, hatge design A 16s, and a venom rev II chip still working on getting it all cleaned up and fixing stuff before mod time
