@ Yr. Right....I still remember when 6,000 mile plug -changes were the norm.
I had a V-8 Mercedes in, with electronic injection. The plugs were a textbook pale chocolate colour and the exhaust pipes very similar.....The owner was getting remarkable fuel-economy for such a big, heavy car.
I agree that for pure power-output, better results are had by carb induction...
but the usable energy extracted ,per gallon burnt, is what drives the real-life commercial and general transport world.
(there are some massively overpowered ,totally fuel-inefficient aircraft, of course,- think of the F1 round-the pylon racers like Paul Bonhomme....bet his only concern is the extra fuel's weight slowing him down)
You make a throwaway remark about CASA....Everything I've read on these forums, leads me to conclude they are an inept, self-serving beaurocracy which has lost sight of it's raison d' etre and hastotally inadequate supervision.
Surely you don't give any credence to this cunch of bunts ?
@Andy RR...thanks for the laugh! witty and apposite!
