I got my fuel injectors cleaned out at a friend's shop. Here is my mileage from the top of my head.

Before:
City: 13-14mpg
Highway: 16-18mpg
Combined: 15-16mpg

After:
City: 16mpg
Highway: 23mpg
combined: 20mpg

My injectors were definitely not clean. I can tell because the air compressor gauge reading dropped 3psi, meaning it didn't have to work as hard to pump fuel through the fuel line after the injectors cleared up.

Well this is my first lexus and I was very impress on what i got on a full tank. I ran it 397 and still had some gas left for maybe another couple of miles. but i just added some lucas injector cleaner to do a cleaning like i done to all my cars every 2 to 3 months.

Yes I did get my fuel injector cleaned...
I didn't notice a drastic difference..

Again...it is kinda hard for me to notice differences since I tend to be VERY HEAVY on the pedal =\

I only have about 57k on the clock...So I am not surprised that the injection cleaning didn't do much for me...
