I think we also need to know the flow rate on the injectors.
Not really. You can put in a guesstimate and calibrated it from tank fill-ups after. Have a search around the MPGuino subforum.

With my ELD inop if I drive when it is dark and my lights are on can the drag from the altenator be causing a decrease in fuel mileage? That is the only real variable now.
Yes. Curious to see your results when you get that sorted out.

Weather - wind, precip & temperature all have a fairly big effect on fuel economy as well.
