odd question

i've never owned a carbeurated engine so i dont know shit about them, but on fuel injection, you're both kinda right. with modern computers, it will pump fuel based on throttle position in order to mix fuel and air and go boom. engine speed (rpm) also affects it, as if it goes "boom" more times per minute, then more fuel is used.

yeah, i've always kinda understood it like that too. its just that i figured low rpm/high load and high rpm/low load would be about the same in fuel use (the latter choice being a little better), the difference being that the latter choice would allow easier acceleration because it would be in a more favorable powerband.
