The data is out there on the escort take it or leave it but there are plenty of them to compare. So that car choice is out. Got any other guesses?
I belive the harley lineup took a milage hit when they went to EFI, they also can no longer idle at that signeture loping potato-potato....
though, my bike has an older brother with the same engine only carburated, and I belive there are a couple MPG's to be gained from the EFI version, depending on how you ride that is, I think the older ones might be able to get a bit more with extreme ecodriving VS the EFI's.
