I don't think there is much to win in fuel consumption if you compare fuel injection with a proper adjusted SU carb. SU carbs are still amazing in how they perform. But setting up by grinding the needles is something I am a bit fed up with. Also with a tuned engine it is sometimes impossible to get it right through the whole rev. range. And you have to choose for power or for efficiency, you can't have both.
That's why I got the multimap Emerald ECU. I hope to get it quiet, smooth and fuel efficient for the long hauls and when switched on to an other map to be a complete hooligan for the circuit or on a nice piece of curving road. I got a three way switch for on the dashboard when I bought the computer. It seems the third map is usually used for a pop'n bang setup. Nice for a crackling exhaust note when driving through a tunnel or in the mountains. Can't wait to get it running and play endlessly with it on the laptop.
