Nascar press conference

[Lawrence C Leung]

Vette's had it when you said, but it was rather costly then. It was
costly even in Europe, too, but the better fuel metering meant a
meaningful increase in fuel economy, so it got adopted there sooner as
the offset in cost payed. Sort of a version of "necessity is the mother
of invention.".
