You how get more light from less current—greater motor power from poorer gasoline As the quality of gaso- line has gone down—and down—Packard motor quality has come up—and up. Greater refinements in Packard mechanisms have met and overbalanded the lowered standards of refine- ment in liquid fuels. Hotter gas, the new Twin-six cylinders now feed* upon. As the vapor is scientific- ally heated before it enters the explosion chambers of the: motor, greater power is actually wrung from smaller charges. ! More mileage—on less fuel! More power from low-test gasolines! Again Packard owners profit by Packard advances. If you have not exam- ined—and had demon- strated to you—the new model Twin-six, you may not realize what these things mean—for you. ‘Why not investigate — now?
