Tell that to someone who hasn't been working on engines since the 1960s. An electronic fuel injection system ls lighter and cheaper (to maintain, certainly, if not in initial cost) than a carburetor, nor does a catalytic converter add significantly more weight than the muffler it replaces. Today's engines weigh a good deal less per horsepower than those of the '60s & '70s.
