depends on the age of your vehicle , if it is pre catalytic convertor then lrp may give slightly better mpg but a lot will depend on the condition of the engine mileage , serviceing etc , if your vehicle has a catalytic convertor then i would'nt recommend lrp as the unleaded burns cleaner , to get better mpg it's a good practise to use a fuel addative that covers the catalytic convertor as well as the injectors, valves etc , this will remove carbon build up and so improve the signals required from modern engines that are sent to the ecu , hope this helps
Unleaded is recommended for this car but it is compatible with LRP since it has no catalytic converter. I am asuming you are in South Africa? Have a look at the NAAMSA fuel compatibility database.
the bike can run on unleaded but it will be rough .
you mwill have loss of power and radical .
what i would suggest is to ask a mechanic about the effects of unleaded petrol to an old engin .
all i know is that the bike will run as i did it to my old BMW and all i had to do is replace some gaskets .
Best of luck .
Am afraid nothing much you can do since you have to make do with what
is locally available. However, a couple of things you can keep in mind:
1. Using leaded fuel with a car intended to use unleaded fuel would
destroy your car's catalytic converter faster than normal wear and tear;
2. At times unleaded would be available, pls use as much as possible to help clean/remove the lead additive, tetraethyllead that will cover some soft engine parts with the lead-containing material; 3. you may have to tune your engine's timing to compensate for the leaded fuel.
Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.
