that's true about lucas fuel injector, but im not sure if it will improve your car's mpg if your car is clean from your knowledge, well i haven't tried it but i think we all should. i'll give it a try soon.

Wait till winter is over then check your fuel mileage. Gas stations put additives in their gas supply tanks to help "winterize" it. Everyone's mileage drops.
16-18 in normal driving is not bad at all.

I was getting near 13mpg in mixed driving. Changed out one O2 sensor, pumped the tires up, cleaned the MAF and throttle body, used some injector cleaner, and now I'm back to ~18mpg.

If i'm going to pay someone to clean the MAF and throttle body because Im not a DIY'er type of guy I don't have a garage nor do I own any tools, how much do you think is a good price to pay for this job? I will try the fuel injector gas treatment next fill up but I doubt it'll do anything. The MAF and throttle body is a spray that you have to take out the MAF and throttle body and spray it right?

where in NY are you located? if youre from around the tri state drive to any autozone they usually have a couple of backyard mechanics waiting around to make a buck there who would do that for you for a little $. just stand there and look around and theyll come at you like pigeons seeing bread. just keep an eye on what theyre doing so you know they didnt mess anything up.
otherwise just spend a little more and go to a regular mechanic.
