I don't believe I brought up internet engineers. I typically wouldn't make that type of statement, being myself an actual engineer
1987 is pretty much the switchover year from carbs to computer controlled fuel injection overall, at least for GM. Of course there are outliers but this is when the old carb was phased out and modern injection was born. Of course fuel injection was before 1987, but it was clunky. And todays fuel injection is even better of course.

87 is the minimum rating required by Ford. It is not an absolute. If I see 85 and 91, guess what? I am pumping 91 because I am not staying, just passing through and my tank is huge. Its all about smiles per mile, not dollars per mile in my RV.
