sudden drop in gas mileage?
I have a 94 cx with a b18b motor. cx fuel pump, ls injectors, I/H, aem fuel rail, fpr. After I did the swap, I was getting between 250-280 miles to a tank (I was filling up 9 gallons, how many gallons is my tank?), regardless of whether or not I drove mainly highway or city miles.
I had to replace my injector seals, because they were leaking, and I lost about 2 gallons of gas in the time it took for me to drive to the dealer and back. While I was at it, I took off the AEM fpr and put the stock cx one on because I didnt know what my fuel pressure was (no gauge) and I was afraid of messing something up. Now I am getting 180-200 miles a tank.
I definitely feel like the car hesitates more now, like its running too rich. Would the cx regulator do this, or should I be looking somewhere else? The injectors are all clean, and my oil level is fine. Plugs are good, and I haven't done any other mods. . .

Thanks, but I know for a fact that that is not the problem.
