I have to disagree I'm afraid. Full sequential injection properly set up will result in a smoother running engine, better starting and lower emissions coupled with better fuel economy. I'm not overly concerned about fuel economy as my personal annual average mileage for the last five years has been around 3k and much as I want to drive my Dragon I don't foresee it covering many miles but any saving of fuel is a good thing, not only for my pocket but for the planet too (no I'm not a tree hugger in disguise either ).

If sequential injection didn't give any significant benefits then mainstream manufacturers wouldn't waste money on it.

If you really want to see the benefits of complex sequential injection look no further than your average modern diesel car or van. The modern common rail diesel injection system obviously has to be sequential as its the fuel injection that starts combustion but most systems nowadays are giving three separate shots of fuel per cylinder per firing stroke, the latest generation Bosch and VDO systems are doing up to five squirts per firing stroke. The result of this is an incredibly smooth diesel engine that produces significant torque even at low engine speeds, coupled with a small turbo charger they don't even display any lag. fiat's latest 2.3 litre diesel is giving 160BHP and is as smooth as freshly pressed silk to drive.
