Carburetors seemed to get us around pretty well. I always remember lots of cars on the road all my life, and arriving at my destination pretty efficiently.

I am not very mechanically inclined, and while you might technically be right about fuel injection, how about we all pay at least $5.00 a gallon for gas like the Europeans do. This higher price is much closer to the real price, considering all the environmental costs and poliitical unrest. And it is a deterrence to the wanton, inefficient, thoughtless driving that most Americans do much of the time.

And you are qualified to say this why? Better carburetors could have been made that dramatically increased fuel efficiency. Fuel injection created no increase in fuel efficiency at all over the old type of carburetors. So why go with the fuel injection technology? Because carburetors would have become dramatically more efficient and oil companies would not like that.
