With those mods, you should be getting stock fuel mileage (as long as you keep your foot out of it ... which is hard! :winkgrin: ).
15-18 around town and high 20s on the highway.

i feel like i've been only getting approx 8 to 9 mpg... Will running rich make bad gas mileage?

that's what it seems to be getting... Before I did any modifactions to the fuel system. I drove the car from Conn to Nh (230 miles) still had a quarter of a tank left. about 25mpg highway. Now i can watch the gallons go down. I'm wondering if the chip i have is causin it. I dunno anymore. I think it needs to go to the Buick Dealership. My brain is fried trying to figure this thing out.

stay away from the dealerships they are ripoffs and don't know about aftermarket modification. They will tell you you can't run what you have because it's not stock.... believe me I made that mistake once when I first bought my gn. These guys on this forum will get you fixed they are the best I found for our cars and there advice is free. If you have half a brain these guys will get you right.
