I read on a magazine that often italian leaded fuel has the same 
composition of unleaded with lead addition to increase octane number.
I don't know if this also occurs in foreign countries but if so using
unleaded fuel for 'ecologial reasons' (after all we haven't catalitic
exhaust) would be a nonsense... polluting both by aromatic & lead 8^((
