Md by We reprint the story here in i»» entirety « couldn't beat it if we tried. N,I o , we didn't have to bufld a new engine. We took Buick's valve-in-head Fireball Engine--which makes the most of high compression. We drew on 12 patient yeans of JSuick carburetion research. And we came up with more might, more tilths, from gas-fight out of thin air, in more ways than one. When you talk about "miles per gallon" you think of fuel, because that's what you buy. But air's free--and for every gallon of gasoline, a busy engine can gulp more than 8,000 gallons of air. The problem is to deliver air in the right proportions, throughout the full range of speeds at which you drive. A carburetor--big enough to supply the air needed at full throttle--can be wasteful in stop-and-go driving. A carburetor sized for thrift in city traffic literally smothers your engine when you really give it the gun. So Buick engineers developed the Airpower carburetor -- a four-barrel automatto--and here's how it works. Loafing along, two barrels are working, two stay closed. And you get a low-speed thrift- and smoothness that's ritttphhis worlds ^---iAs • you pick up speed, the "stand-bys^ 4ome into play--feeding not just more gas§ but more air too--so you keep getting maxifc_ ---mum power from each drop of fuel.
