You have stage 2 injectors and are asking about fuel economy? What are you seeing now when you drive respectively?

around 14, i think if i put my stock turbo wheel back in i will get a little better. I have a ats houseing with the wicked wheel or what ever its called.

Mine is completely stock and back when everything was in good working order, and keeping my foot out of the throttle and under 2000rpm mine was at an average of 20 to 22 mpg. just some info of what they are capable of. keep in mine arizona and everything is flat here.:tu:

Drive slower. Put a 2x4 under the accelerator pedal. Never exceed 2000 RPM...EVER...

Run stock size tires or narrower at max. inflation pressure. Make sure your alignment is dead-on (toe is most important for mileage). Buy a cheap early-90's car for a commuter.

Some good advice there.
