Can they  really have a fighting chance?
Are there any ways to get good mpg if your  FI car has been converted over 
to
carbs?
Range of mileage can very from  very bad, to very good...
Bring on your best FI mileage, I know I see 28mpg  + on my cars.
So, how can that be?



Or the flip side of this. The engine that's in my 65 Notch wouldn't run  
worth a damn with FI (when I had it in the 71 Notch), but put a set of carbs 
on  it, and it runs great.
