Re: leaded characteristics

Cars with catalytic converters, (starting in 1975) needed unleaded. Also oxygen sensors require unleaded.

Some cars from the 60's to 1970 with very high compression run better on premium leaded gas. They will run on premium unleaded but still often require an octane booster for best performance.
