Not wanting to get an argument started here but CDI reduces the (glow) fuel consumption considerably. For those that want to do that, the discontinuance of almost all of Saito's large multi-cylinder Glow engines is a disaster.
The "gas" craze is typical of the American market. So many will change when in reality, when all factors are considered, it's not that big of an improvement.
