We understand that you were somewhat concerned as to the petrol consumption of the new carburetter on your car. We have done several consumption tests with this new design, and so far whenever it is set correctly have not been able to measure any difference between it and the standard carburetter. We thought that 17-G-IV might have a particularly good consumption and therefore made a further comparison with this car, the results of which are attached. We will fit the actual carburetter on which this tests was made to your new car, and shall be glad to hear your comments in due course.
