I remember the days when we had to push our trucks around by hand while making vroom-vroom sounds.

The fact that you remember anything at your age is quite astonishing.

So I guess what they say about getting old is true? You basically revert back into a child. You know the whole diaper thing, and being unable to eat solid foods?

If you compare liquid vs gas(air) they have difference. In a filter tube there is already presence of air inside and once the engine continue sucking air through longer pipe it develops a more pressure and velocity of the air. In a liquid that you gave example is a soda in a straw it starts from the bottom and think also air is lighter than liquid.
And ok, lets apply on solid materials, example a gun with a longer barrel can produce more power compare to a shorter barrel. think also about that.

Do your own experiment. Suck air through a 12" hose, then suck air through a 48" hose. THere is no developing pressure. Notice how much harder it is to move the air. If it compressed, divers wouldnt need compressors to breathe 100 feet under water.
