Re: [DML] Video Of Carbureted PRV Intake Manifold Removal

["Tom Niemczewski" <dmctom@xxxxxxxxx>]

Bill,

Thank you for answering my question. I did not want to start a war. I was 
just curious to know what kind of fuel economy the carbureted PRV can 
achieve. Your numbers look pretty good and about as good as K-Jet. I wonder 
how good electronic sequential injection can be. As I said, with $8.85 a 
gallon you're really thinking about saving every drop possible ;) It costs 
about $100 to fill up while those miles roll so slow... and that gas gauge 
drops so fast ;)

Thanks,
Tom

I really don't want to ignite yet ANOTHER flame war, but since you asked:

Fuel economy to/from SEDOC calculated between 23.8 and 25.2 MPG,
depending upon speed. Of course relying upon a gas pump and the trip
odometer isn't the most precise method of calculating fuel consumption
(every pump will shut off with different counter pressure), but it's
accurate enough to dispel the common misconception that carburetion is
necessarily or inherently fuel inefficient.
