Well, where do you use your coach? Are you never going to altitude (Jim B
thinks you should stick with the carb, but he's in Florida, tallest
mountain east of the Mississippi is on about 6600' in New Hampshire, in the
past month, I've been over a pass that high 3 times). Are you running below
freezing (I remember my dad having fun getting our cars started in the snow
at altitude, not fun)? Do you drive a bunch (so the gas savings might pay
off)?
