that would be k10s only im guessing?

 

[ollyc98]

Yeah I think so, you could try the K11 but things could go wrong. The only reason old cars can't run on unleaded is the valves are too soft but it doesn't seem to matter the other way.
The only thing leaded petrol does is damages the CAT

Fun times. Government punishing the motorist again.

 

[ollyc98]

Probably to pay for a war we had no business getting involved in.

 

[Arnold]

it'l be something along the lines of needing money to improve public transport or encouraging people to give up cars to save the environment. Besides, they're not getting as much tax from smokers now so need an alternative money source to make up the numbers

 

[ollyc98]

A fine is a tax for doing wrong, a tax is a fine for doing well, I hate the government, I don't think they do enough work to cover the money they take off us.
