...I don't think the presence or lack of EFI or electronic ignition is a key
factor....cars with computerized EFI usually have some sort of electronic
idle control that can adjust
the throttle setting to keep the idle RPM stable...
This idle control is exactly why I excluded cars with EFI from my
generalisation about RPM dips! In fact, it may well only apply to cars with
fly-by-wire throttles.
I was also tempted to exclude old American cars, on the basis that their
huge V8s would hardly notice the extra load from the lights.
