dont worry about not having a cat. either, you are not hurting the environment anymore than u were with leaded fuel.
as far as catalytic converters are concerned, there is nothing worse about running unleaded in an old car than running super/lrp in an old car. The reason old cars didn't have cats is not because super/lrp doesn't have the poisons, its just because they have lead which clogs up the cat. They both contain the aromatic compounds. New unleaded cars are better because they have cats and help burn these compounds (once they are up to temperature).
As far as i know we moved to unleaded so that we could run cats to have better emissions, not to avoid lead. The lead falls to the ground within metres, and does not form lead dust, and is not inhaled.
I would be much more worried about benzene compounds coming out of the back of ALL old cars on unleaded or leaded or LRP.. and out of new cars where the cat hasn't warmed up.
both leaded and unleaded fuels contain the same amounts of aromatic compounds, including benzene.
anyway lrp costs less for the same RON, but i have seen weird looking plugs after running lrp, and pulp 'seems' to run better.
cheers
