All this equates to less fuel overall being used, and a bump in fuel economy. I'll bet your idle is smoother, and your on/off throttle transitions are smoother.
This.

I also have to blip the throttle a lot less when maneuvering into parking spaces. In fact, this morning, all I had to do was modulate the clutch to back into a spot. It's also pretty neat to be able to accelerate to the parking lot speed limit of 15 MPH on the way home, also without having to touch the gas pedal at all.

It should be a lot quieter too. The Karen-Mobile idles much more smoothly and quietly. I actually had to check to make sure my engine was still running, when I first stopped at a light while test-driving these new injectors.
