Experience over the years is wonderful to fall back on. I love a modern FI engine because they run so well. There is one exception though. COLD WEATHER. AN old carb engine will start better at real cold temps and run more economically. FI engine will run richer in the winter to compensate for the temps. Nor will they run at the proper operating temp sometimes. I had a 1996 Ranger 4 cylinder that was terrible in the winter. Easy fix. Took the fan off the front of the engine. No fan blast on the engine and sensors let the engine warm up and run the same MPG as summer. The engine fan noise was not there as an added benefit. If I still lived in the prairies my slug 4.0 Ranger would get the same treatment.
