Cars stopped using carburetors mainly because fuel injection systems proved to be more efficient, reliable, and better for meeting environmental standards. Here’s why:
Better Fuel Efficiency — Fuel injection precisely controls the amount of fuel delivered to the engine, improving gas mileage compared to carburetors, which are less precise.
Lower Emissions — As emission regulations became stricter, fuel injection helped engines burn fuel cleaner, reducing pollutants that carburetors struggled to control.
Improved Performance — Fuel injection systems offer smoother engine operation, better cold starts, and more consistent power delivery.
Less Maintenance — Carburetors require frequent tuning and adjustment, while fuel injection systems are largely maintenance-free and more reliable.
Advances in Electronics — Modern engines rely on computerized engine management systems that work hand-in-hand with fuel injection, enabling smarter and more adaptable engine control.
By the late 1980s and early 1990s, most manufacturers had switched to fuel injection to meet these demands, making carburetors mostly obsolete in new cars.
