And when you see the engineers of big time racing throwing their carbs away if allowed that might tell you something about efficiency also. CART, Formula 1 and IRL are all injected. Better burn because of atomization and delivery means more power which also translates into better milage for a street car. And the cold starting, etc are not even matched.

In the early 80's when GM was just getting going with injection it was obvious to anyone who looked which system was better. Let see the 81 Bonneville got 17 mpg and the 83 with injection got 30. Hmmmm. Also when it snowed and we had to move vehicles on the car lot to plow I don't ever remember an injected car not starting. The Toronado's, 88's and 98's that were carbed wouldn't start if you walked by them with an ice cream cone in July and all got less the 18mpg.

I wish I had my Oldsmobile 442, four on the floor, four barrel, dual exhaust. Traded it in for a --gulp--Opel. The worst car I ever had.
