Lightbulb Efficient Carburetors?

Hi guys, I'm new and this will be my first thread but I'm on a mission.

Im 18 and I started the restoration on my second car and soon to be daily driver- a 1949 Buick Super fireball 8- 45,632k miles

it has a 248 c.i straight 8 with 110 hp that runs amazing

but the problem is...as you could imagine...I'm getting terrible gas mileage, 5 mpg around town MAYBE and 10 MAYBE on the highway. The engine has been totaly cleaned out, re-tooled and re-sealed

So my question to everyone here is what they know about efficient carburetors,

I've looked into:
Predators
Ellison's
Kendig's
Woodworth's
Fish's
and of course the Pogue but excluding the pogue, which is the best? benefits and downfalls? tips? any kind of advice?

thanks- Anthony
