AT injector "Down-Size" swap...???

After reading this post by MadDog, I'm wondering if replacing my 490cc Injectors
with a smaller size (390cc or less) might help my poor MPG (11 MPG in town)?

Any thoughts?

Would the ECU throw a CEL trying to pump 490cc fuel through something smaller?

How much low-end torque do you think I would give up?

Without knowing the duty cycles for a given load, I don't know how much benefit it would be. I'm not sure that I'd risk a lean condition without this info. 11mpg is pretty bad though, so it's probably worth looking into.
