Late injection timing will cause low milage, as will bad wheel bearings, draggy brakes, out of alignment condition, etc.

I wouldn't bother with injectors unless I was getting symptoms of a bad one (hard start, excessive smoke, serious injector knock). The ones in the Volvo have 220,000 miles on them and still work fine. Pop pressure is down a bit, but within the used nozzle range, so I'm not messing with them.
