Here's why:
* Direct injection in petrol engines was a relatively new technology in the mid-1990s. It was not widely adopted by manufacturers, especially in small, budget-oriented cars like the Punto 55s.
* The 1996 Punto 55s was equipped with a 1.1-liter petrol engine, which was a carburetor engine. Carburetor engines use a carburetor to mix air and fuel before it enters the combustion chamber.
* Direct injection engines spray fuel directly into the combustion chamber, offering better fuel efficiency and emissions. This technology became more common in later model years.
Therefore, the Fiat Punto 55s 1996 did not have a direct injection engine. It was equipped with a carburetor engine.
