Can cleaning the fuel injectors cause lower fuel economy?

Absolutely not (if they did it properly). How much did you pay and what kind of fuel service did they perform. Sounds like they put one of those bottles from autozone instant results for ten dollars, this will clean your injectors and perform miracles.

Just be sure they actually cleaned the injectors, and didn’t just dump some cleaner in your tank and charge you.

Your injectors could have been so dirty that they weren’t putting out as much fuel as they should= poorer gas mileage
