How about everybody starting a petition against banning unleaded gas?
There are thousands of cars out there that run on regular fuel, and
they would have to use more expensive unleaded gas, as well as maybe
even requiring hich-octane unleaded fuel. Even now, many European new
cars use leaded fuel.
I can understand, and maybe even accept, requiring new cars to use
unleaded gas, but not the ones already on the road.
Fight back!

I've recently heard that leaded gas is being outlawed by the EPA,
and will be unavailable sometime within the next 5 years. I have
a 68 T-bird with a 429, that originally used to run on Premium gas
(can't find it anymore). Using a mixture of Regular and Unleaded-
Premium does sorta-ok, but not like it used to run. With the
elimination of leaded gas altogether, will I have to convert the
engine to run on unleaded gas, and what does this involve ?
(Maybe I should just sell it if an engine conversion is next-to-
impossible - anybody want a T-bird with suicide doors?)
Please reply by mail since I don't read this group too often.
Thanks in advance.
