because of an invalid premise? The injectors put the fuel where it is needed, especially with direct injection. They can respond to more sensors and feedback (i.e. wideband) by the next intake event, i.e. immediately.

You do lose some energy pressurizing the fuel and operating the injectors/computer, so it isn't perfect, and there is a tradeoff between pressure and "atomization", but still far more accurate than any carburettor.


Anyway, those guys were boring me, I had to look at some other videos Was there a point buried in there?
