Leaded fuel

skybluepaul · 2004-11-19T11:58:32+00:00

Can anyone help. As a newly paid up member to the Beetle fraternity, I was very excited about purchasing my 71 1600 convertable. I then tried to buy some fuel and found that all of the gas stations in my area have decided to discontinue lead replacement fuel. I know this is probably the most basic question ever but I'm sorry!! Can you fill up on premium unleaded and does it end up burning your valves etc. Any advice would be much appreciated

I remember BP Super Mix pumps and used to use 75 in My Dad's Beetle....
Shell also had those AutoMix Pumps ... one of the best inventions.... I wish they were back...

then You could have 50% Super Unleaded & 50% Unleaded
and save money....
