This is something I've always wondered about. So is the FIS injecting less fuel than what is needed to idle to bring down the rpms?
Also, a car going up hill in say 5th gear @ 2000 rpms @ 75% throttle. Same car going up the same hill, same speed, in 3rd gear @ 4000 rpms @ 25% throttle. Which one is getting better fuel mileage? My thoughts are if the car is FI, it would be the 5th gear and opposite for a carbureted car.
Any thoughts?
