Do Injectors "Settle In"?

I replaced my injectors a couple of weeks ago and the MPG dropped over what we experienced with the old ones. Smoking may be worse and 0 - 60 was still pretty dismal I thought (22 sec).

Last night we took a drive in the cold to get fueled up at a place we'd never bought from before and I thought I felt an improvement on the way home.

The best mileage we have gotten to date was 28. Not bad.
After the new injectors, it dropped to maybe 22.

The Boss just called and she reports 28MPG today and 16 second 0 - 60!

Maybe we should visit that station more often. I can't believe that with all the different places we've bought fuel, only one of them has "the good stuff". Hence the question: Do injectors take time to settle in?
