Unleaded.
Almost anything after 1990 (G/H-Reg) can run on unleaded without modification, and almost everything from about 1993 (K/L-Reg) requires unleaded. Leaded fuel will contaminate the car's catalytic converter.
Most older cars will now have been adjusted to run on unleaded.
Where are you going to get leaded fuel nowadays for it even to be an option? Only source I know is aviation low lead and that's going to be pricey.
Unleaded
All cars manufactured since the mid 1970's are designed to run on unleaded fuel.
Use unleaded. It is easier to find and better for the environment.
The 1679cc Zetec-S (aka Sigma) is an all aluminium engine so has hardened valve seats. It can run ULP.
- Would a Ford Puma be a good first car? So I really know nothing about cars, but is the Ford Puma a good car? For instance, with insurance, reliability, driving experience, fuel consumption, ect.
- Where is the starter motor on a 1.7 ford puma? My puma is just making a click when I try and turn it on. It has had a new battery in the last couple of weeks and it has been doing this for 2 days. First it would click a couple of times then start now it is just clicking so I believe its the starter motor. I want to check the connections before I buy a new one but don't know where it is?
- How old is too old for a truck? I'm looking to buy a box truck and found a 1990 Ford E 350 with 78000 miles on it. Does it matter that it is 27 years old? The owner said I need to replace the oil and tires. What else will need to be replaced? The asking price is $2750
- How does transferring rego from a SA reg to a QLD reg work when buying a car? My girlfriend and I are in Australia on working holiday visas and we're keen to buy a car in order to travel down th East Coast. We have found a car that looks decent, but the car's rego is for SA and we're in Cairns (QLD) and the rego is up in a few days. How will it work, renewing/transferring the rego from QLD and how much should it cost? The car is a ford falcon station wagon if that matters.
