Default 1995 lx: direct-fuel or carburetor?

Hi. Does a 1995 civic lx have direct-fuel injection? Or does it have a carburetor?

Sorry, I'm afraid I don't understand. You're saying that my 95 Civic has injection, but it's not fuel injection. And you are saying 95 civic doesn't have a carburetor?

I'm just trying to know what to do with the advice given in this article:

It does not have a carburetor. It has a multipoint fuel injection system similar to that used on almost all cars in the 1990s. It does not have the later "direct injection" type of system, but those work about the same as far as not needing to warm up before driving.

Car manufacturers stopped using carburetors as most countries tightened pollution standards during the 1980s. Carburetors tend to pollute excessively unless the system is made very complicated (see the last of the CVCC Civics for an example).
