Re: [doc] Advice required - Classic Cars/Unleaded (not a DeLorean)



Hi Martin,

I am no expert on this stuff, but that's what it says
on the manual anyway: "Fuel type: Leaded Petrol
(Minimum octane rating 97RON)"

It also has Catalyst too.... :P

What I find is that I get better mpg on my little 205
with lead replacement added to the unleaded fuel~ So
in the end, even if it's not needed, I still use it
anyway, just for the sake of efficiency :)

Regards,
John Tien
