No I've never been inside a Honda sized thing, or do you mean set
the rack, every three hundred thousand miles?

Practically every passenger car manufacturer is claiming at least forty
miles a gallon now, with at least one model, thanks to electronic fuel
injection. They could do better too, but they don't need to as yet.

If you use a magnifying glass and your imagination you may see
where the brochure read a test run of fourteen hundred miles got sixty
one.

Basically you are totally wrong... FI help with emissions by supplying
fuel in a much more precise manner than carbs, FI can run much leaner
and stay closer to the ideal air/fuel mixture (ideal for power AND fuel
use) throughout the range you use a vehicle in. This means you get
more complete combustion, which means more bang for the same amount of
fuel, which means more POWER AND better MILEAGE.

You don't get one without the other

Properly set up FI will supply fuel close to the perfect ratio whether
9000 feet above sea level in 30 degree temps or at 0 feet 100% humidity
and 120 degrees. Based off input from an o2 sensor. On the fly in real time.

Carbs use a very primitive and extremely complicated failure prone set
of mechanical devices to derive ONE unchangeable (until you stop and
replace jets) fuel map that has to suit the vehicle under a huge set of
variables.

I mean there isn't even a debate here, no matter HOW MUCH of a tuning
wizard you are Mike, you will NEVER tune your carb as well as a computer
can keep FI tuned... by the time you leave your driveway your air/fuel
ratio will be less than ideal, a computer will have compensated and
corrected the ratio 30 times before you left the same driveway.
