Regardless of the discrepencies over leaded/unleaded, mines an '85, some will say to run it on unleaded and some will say just stick with leaded. As far as the difference in fuel prices between the two, i feel safer spending the extra 5c/litre and ensuring that my valves get that little bit of extra lubrication. :D

my 1.0 litre always ran better on unleaded, didnt foul plugs so often. the handbook from japan says "use 90 octane or higher, preferably unleaded. I know japan has been using unleaded for much longer than we have, but aint sure if aussie spec ones are the same? ran my 84 1.3 totally on unleaded. Also, I believe all reco engines have to be unleaded? its only hardened valve seats which are needed ?, which I believe alloy heads have anyway? . but these are just my opinions, others may know more facts?
