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!

Unleaded is only required by cars with catalytic converters, and 74s did not come with them. I haven't seen a 74 with that sticker so far, just some 75s and 76es. To reiterate, unleaded fuel is just fine for any and all 914s. None of them ever required lead in the fuel. Oh, the difference between the RON and MON ratings of a given batch of gasoline is called that fuel's "sensitivity". RON is generally 8-10 full numbers higher than MON for the exact same fuel, so US pump octane ratings (average of RON and MON) will typically be 4-5 numbers lower than the RON (or ROZ, same thing in German) numbers listed in the owner's manual. --DD |
