The best fuel to use for your car is super unleaded or optimax. I've heard the old k-jet engines don't like LRP. You don't need leaded fuel , you just need high octane fuel.

Speedy,
Try using the optimax, it works out cheaper for me as I got more miles per gallon, and the better performance is a real bonus. It should be fine to use in your motor.

Should I wait until my tank is almost empty or can I top up my LRP?
