@funkdaddy I run unleaded and a cat, as my car was designed at the factory to do.
Now, I am quite aware of the power differences and all, but I don’t want to digress too much. My point is that your car won’t be destroyed; mine will. That destruction would not happen if not for ethanol., therefore those pushing for ethanol need to factor in the other costs unless they want to be total dicks.
As for the injection, I am merely pointing out that it really doesn’t matter. See, I can go at highway speeds either way. And every car I’ve had except for two were injected. Guess what? All of them (carb or EFI) were in the 90–135 HP range, and if you care about MPG then you don’t need more than that in a normal car.
However, the ECU is often programmed by a retarded rhododendron, so I would rather go straight electric. At least with a Zilla controller I can avoid that issue.
Oh. FYI, my 1985 90HP 2250 pound carb car gets better MPG than all but one of the EFI cars I’ve owned; 92 HP 2200 pounder, 100 HP 2460 pounder, 122 HP 2600 pounder… all worse. The only one to beat it was my 108 HP 3200 pound 4WD, but that was a Honda. No offense, but I will take my experience over your theory. FWIW, I used to think the same way you do.. until I was proven wrong.
