As it says above, does the original 2.0 914/6 use leaded fuel or is unleaded ok? The book says 98 octain but it doesn't say anything about Leaded or Unleaded. My 74 had an Unleaded Only sticker but the 6 doesn't!

Jeff, if ya want 93 octane ya gotta move to Oklahoma!

local Sunoco stations here in PA have 94 ...

interestingly, there's a section on octane in the Bosch MFI book (spent a lot of time with that this weekend getting my idle mixture and 6 airflows balanced...) that mentions that starting with the 2,4 MFI engines 87 Octane is specified, and due to the slower burn rate of higher octane fuels, runnign higher octane fuel can result in excessive CO levels.

just a thought for those 'more is better' discussions - especially for anyone having trouble getting a car though an emissions test ...
