I lore's why: I In easy going like most of your travel, just one of Buick's smaller-than-usual carburetors thriftily handles all engine requirements. Only when you want extra power does the second carburetor come in. Then, momentarily, it adds extra fuel and extra power only while it's needed. Result is that carburetion is always fitted to your driving need. You're never driving \ \s ith a carburetor that's bigger than you need for lowrange travel, or one that's too small for top-range performance. Now the net result is that the same-size engines give up as much as 10% to 15% more miles-per-gallon than last year. And that's a handsome saving ? mighty handsome in a car big and roomy and smart as a Buick. Look over the next Buick that passes you ?or better yet, go trial-drive one?and see if you don t agree. wm A9I5 -J for the Business Coupe It \ deliveredat I'lint, Mich.
