BTW you can use your engine to support braking with that. Just shift one or two gears down (you should keep it within reasonable revs though  ). Saves plenty of brakes.  |
I don't think anything is built without fuel injection in today's auto world. Fuel efficent is 14:1 air/fuel mixture. Fuel injections does a much better job than a carb could every do. BTW, automatics also downshift automatically and saves your brakes.
