I'm guessing maybe the dinosaurs (and by that I mean anybody that was born before cars came with FI standard) are driving the carb'd v8's that can handle running lean until the next spark plug change, as opposed to a motor that is only slightly larger than that of a wave runner.

Between how good these guys are at tuning them, and the mechanical doo-dads in there to meter itself, they run about right. You just can't generate all the fancy reports and interface with computers to change up your stuff on a whim. Its not so bad, especially when it comes time to repair something, or time to pay for the fuel system.
