When cars went to electronic fuel controls the right amount of fuel was used. Carburetors would add too much fuel and wash the oil off the cylinders and cause excessive cylinder/ring wear. You could tell when the carb needs rebuilt, your eyes would burn because there was too much raw gas coming out of the exhaust pipe..
How many remember auto chokes sticking, flooding the engine. Then you removed the air filter, used a large screwdriver to hold the choke open to start the engine??
We may have better metals today. Back when I started driving engines with 100k were getting a complete oil change every 1000 miles using one quart of oil/200 miles.
I knew a kid that worked at a service station. His idea of changing oil was bringing home the oil he removed from a car when he was changing the oil on and using it in his car.. Changing oil from one car to another car.
At 100k I would have cylinders bored to 50 thousands over and buy new pistons and rings and do a complete overhaul, not just rings. $800 do a complete overhaul on a V8.
Electronic fuel controls are why we have better mph and longer engine life.

The lady of the house who answered the door offered no answer, but said that she would talk to her husband and have him call me. I figured he was away at the time. Well I heard from him the next day, and he procee
