Did they have to track down leaded gas? Did they just use unleaded? Did they suffer engine knock?

    Fuck, Germany introduced unleaded fuel only in 1984 and still offered leaded fuel for a long time.

    It was required because of the introduction of catalytic converters, which would get damaged by lead in the fuel.

    When I was at Bundeswehr I was in hospital for some time and got some thorough diagnosis. They asked me if I worked with lead in the past (no), so I seem to have at least some lead levels in my body.

    (Can’t think of a I AM NOT CRAZY pun right now)
