Leaky injectors and MPG

can leaky injectors really put a hurting on gas mileage? My injectors hold pressure fine when the car is running, but takes about 10 seconds to lose all pressure after turningthe car off...i've also noticed a drop in gas mileage, safe to assume its due to the leaky injectors?

If your injestors are leaking you are going to get many symptoms and one of them is a poor gas mileage.

If you are loosing your pressure after 10 s then defeniately something is not right.

Good luck
