I think you will have to clean your air filter because dirty air filter keeps flow of air into the engine, which affects performance and economy.

Get more air to engine,open up exhaust.This should match the new injectors and give you better mileage.

Then you must go back to stock or enjoy the power.

If you want to increase your fuel mileage then you will have to reduce your speed because faster you move, your engine has to work hard, it doesn't mean to go slower. maintain constant speed using cruise control. Fill up the gas completely and keep your tank above 70% fuel in it so that engine will receive great supply of fuel.
