I have a 73 2.0 with webbers, and I have been using the middle grade gas, but does it make a difference which grade i use with the rising gas prices?

stock internals? if so, you should be able to get away with low grade fuel. just try a tank and see if you get engine *knock* ... if not, you're fine ... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) Andy |

check your timing, and your spark plug heat range. dribbly injectors won't help. and maybe find a better class of gas station ? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) |

Run premium. your plugs won't get burned up, your engine will run smoother and the milage will be better in the long run.
