Ari,
Bill knows. He just chooses to do things his way.
Despite the fact that I am frustrated that engines are getting so 
complex, I acknowledge the fact that these advancements contribute 
to cleaner, more efficient engines.
However, I've seen 35 year-old carburated vehicles that passed 
emissions testing better than some newer cars. Why? Because one 
owner cared for his car and the other didn't. Unfortunately, the 
vast majority of owners rarely keep their engines in tune the way 
the manufacturers intended. This voids the benefit of the technology 
under the hood. Most of us here don't fit into that category because 
we're car buffs and not soccer-moms.
When I was stationed on the Saudi peninsula, my driver Amjad was 
critiqueing my choice of vehicle. With disdain he said "American 
cars are too, too big. Burn too much gas." I looked him square in 
the eye and said "Amjad, you drive me to the port at 110 mph (Yes, 
mph, not KPH) every damn day. You easily consume more fuel than I do 
back home. You negate the advantages of your small van with your 
poor driving habits so don't lecture me about buying the DeLorean".
