Neil,
are you sure it saves money -- given that your mpg figure is probably lower
with unleaded? Also, the '89 MG Metro needed to be converted? I am=
surprised!
BTW, How is your Metro? I bought one new in '84, when I sold it in '88 (I
think), it had already had a pair of new wings (fenders) and 4 new alloy
wheels, all courtesy of the warrantee on the car. Oh, and it leaked oil
like a sieve!
