Carb and cap is the way to go imo. If you get a fuel issue on the side of the road in a new car, you're gonna need a tow. If you've got a fuel issue on a carb, you can fix it enough with a screwdriver to get it home. All this computer shit just isnt right.
Yeah I hear ya. But first, I hate carbs. Very inefficient. Also new cars a certainly more safe, have more horsepower and very nice features. But, I understand what you're saying, yes if it breaks down, I'll need a tow truck.
With inefficiency comes serviceability, but the "inefficiency" of carbed motors is a bit of a myth. There were cars per 1975, carbed, that ran 30 or more MPG. I'll try to remember a few if I can. I never cared to memorise or write down the names, not expected them to be impossible to find with a google search. As time, machining, metallurgy and understanding of tolerances has progressed, I don't think it would be a stretch to think that carbureted motors could reach today's mpg had they stayed in service.

Linux is hard but you can make it do anything you want.
E-cars are easy, but they wont let you do a damn thing without a proprietary device or other such nonsense.
Mechanical devices work for everyone.
We must learn to 'see the cage'
Old japanese hatchbacks did over 50MPG with carbs.
10MPG is worth not being suicided by ZOG.
