anyone here in australia? i generally put 95 in my type 1 beetle its a 76
lately people have been telling me to only use premium then one old geezer said just use regular 91, then i've been told to put leaded additive in it every second fuel fill. I'm so confused.
whats best for it?
i see a lot of america and english guides here but the fuel is different here. (i think)
sorry if its a dumb question i've never really questioned it until recently with other vw nuts giving me advice.

Tram, who is a factory trained VW mechanic tells us to always use premium in the USA.

Adadrian,
Run the best your hip pocket can afford. What brand (BP, Shell etc etc) will be determined by your donk. Some peeps run ULP, some run PULP.
Ah....for the good ol' days of BP-100 drums  .
