There's a lot of things that go in to the fuel efficiency of a vehicle, and while EFI can be a more precise fuel delivery and deliver better results in similar motors, things like gear ratios seem to be have a bigger effect, especially for highway miliage.
My Corolla has a Carby and it isn't too thirsty. I can normally get about 600-700 k's off Highway driving from a little baby 40L tank.Engine might be doing a fair bit more work too.

The vette is a 5 speed iirc, whereas my trans am is only a 3 speed. 3000 rpms the entire ride home at 120km/h really drinks gas.luckily i dont need to drive too much on the highway anymore so i can rest easy. my city mileage is pretty good, and i do have my crappy 04 sunfire beater for long distance journeys.
convert for the part of the world that isn't retarded, pls

Seriously Toyotas have a rep for being unfun as shit to drive, especially back then but you'd love my Car if you drove it. Shit loves to rev.
I meant your units of measurements, cholo

Ooh, yup, three speed will do it. My impala was okayish on gas till I got on the highway doing 75/80. That just sucked fuel.

translate that pls

Because nobody ever uses kilometers as a legitimate form of measurement

Is fuel injection really that much more fuel efficient?
