Fuel injection sytems today...always meter the fuel BETTER than 
carbs.....BUT...the new engines are a "total Package"

You can increase your Vairs winter mileage by:

1   Make sure your engine runs HOT

2   Make sure your intake air is heated!

3   Maximize Timing advance.....always more advance in cooler weather....

Remember last winter...I tweaked my 69  110 / 4 / 3.27's to start easily,  
warmup FAST,  keep me HOT [ smoking with window down ]   and do it at any 
speed...
