Properly tuned, I agree that carbs are not as efficient as injection... FI can use leaner mixtures to achieve the same result.

I'm just saying in stock config, nothing changed, I got 40+ in my carb'd 1.9 escort, and less than 35 in my FI 1.9 escort, both wagons.

The part that really concerned me was that the FI version of the escort has better (visually) aero. I never compared the Cd, because back then, I never really cared.
