Hi I am writing a report about Carbs vs EFI. I was wondering your certified technicians opinions. Do you think that EFI or Carb is better? Which one is more efficient? How do they differ? Which one do you prefer? If I could may I please have multiple opinions.
Thank you so much

Actually, fuel injection is more efficient. It injects fuel into the engine. A carb relied on engine vacuum to draw fuel into the engine. Also, a carb is not as efficient as injection. Cold starts relied on a choke which prevented air from entering the engine which would draw more fuel. As a result, more fuel was consumed. Therefore, it was harder on the environment. Overall, fuel injection is more efficient, more enviromentaly friendly, and will produce more power from the engine.
