Did they have to track down leaded gas? Did they just use unleaded? Did they suffer engine knock?

    Could it be that gas stations in Europe had no room for another tank? So maybe the governments kept putting it off.

      As gas stations have enough room for more expensive “ultimate” versions of fuel, I don’t think that’s the reason. You can frequently get two kinds of Diesel and three kinds of Gas at the pump.

      O. t. o. h…maybe the whole “premium fuel” hype resulted from stations having additional tanks after leaded fuel was phased out.
