WILKIE Associated Press Automotive Ed DETROIT. Aug. 18. P The search for greater gasoline mile age is being pushed in every auto maker's laboratories. Knmji nl the manufacturers be lieve they can find it in lighter cars; others are see King u research In carburetion. The laboratory work currently under way gives promise of con siderably greater mileage in the not too distant tuiure. Producing a lighter car Isn't difficult if its size is reduced. Most car markets, however, don't want to make their vehicles no ticeably smaller So they are trying once again to build what thev rail a standard sized car several hundred pounds lighter than current models. These units will be a few Inches smaller but not enough shorter or narrower to put them In the small car class. So far the Industry hasn't been particularly successful In reduc ing weight without cutting down the size of its cars. In most in stances where it has boasted of a weight reduction in its stand' ard sized models, it has had to put the weight back in a pain In the carburetion experiments considerable attention has been given to methods ot distributing the fuel mixture to the various cylinders. A lot of basic work on the carburetors themselves also Is under way. Mora Mllsag Needed In the rush to get new automo biles Immediately following the war car buyers gave only little thought to gasoline mileage. In a buyer's market the car indus try will need all the selling argu ments It can muster and miles per gallon will be one of the best. With present high compression engines considerably increased mileage Is obtained. It Is true, however, that little more mileage may be expected from Increased compression alone until higher quality gasoline becomes avail able But the car makers apparently expect higher mileage fuel sooner than do many motorists. Several of the auto makers have designed their engines so that they may be adapted to higher quality gas oline merely by changing the engine-head. This Increases the engine's I compression ratio. Compression ratio is the amount of space al lotted to piston travel In rela tion to the space Into which fuel Is confined when the piston is at the top of Its compression stroke. Other Things to Consider Ol course, a lot of things be sides gross vehicle weight, car buretion and engine compression affect gasoline mileage. Among them are weight distribution, wheel balance, maximum timing efficiency, smooth functioning of transmission and even such a les ser Item as proper tire inflation. Fuel economy probably is more Important to motorists operating cars of the lower priced makes. Yet, sales executives say, owners of medium and high priced ve hicles have been showing Increas ing interest in how many miles per gallon they may expect of their new cars. That's why all the factors af fecting gasoline consumption are coming In for Increasing study In alT the automobile industry laboratories. McKay Appoints Nurses On Advisory Council SAI.KM, Aug. IS.
