Fuel injection economy difference versus carburetor?
On a 2000w generator likely used 20-30hr per year...completely irrelevant.
On a 2,000 watt generator completely relevant. I am not idly curious thank you very much...try 2,000 hours yearly.
Assuming 8hr per gallon (about what we get with our 2007 2400w Yamaha), that's about 250gal per year.
If you get a 5% improvement (unlikely), that's about 12.5gal saved but that's also likely at the high end of usage.
If history is an example, this unit will likely run $700-1000 other generators of similar output...it's going to be a long time for fuel efficiency to pay off.
Again, the bigger advantage would be reliability.
