 Alot of people tells me that the LRP petrol nowadays has substance inside it so it slowly eat away the engine or somehow stuff it up.....This may sound stupid. But i need some expert advise on what people think about this. This theory is somewhat holding me back from buying an older leaded engine car.....
because i really want a old corolla for a starter.

Or just run premium unleaded, which has the same/better octane than LRP.
And yes stay away from LRP, it's crap.

I pulled out the spark plugs out of my old 5me, which had been running on lrp - they were orange. I was told by a mechanic friend of mine, that my piston tops and valves would look the same. So i changed it straight to pulp...and it went harder, ran smoother and didnt get any of that nasty crap in it.

as some of u may know i run a 79 corona with a 18RG, we also used to have a 85 VK with a 202,
the 202 had to run on super/LRP, so when we got the corona with its 18RC in it I ran LRP, when we changed to RG i used to put in PULP, as this was the best fuel to use.
i sometimes used to get in the car, gas it and it'd run like shit, i even had a go at the tuner  , turns out my wife was putting LRP into it when i wasnt there, not knowing that even tho it was a older engine, that it now took PULP, silly woman  ,
they should change the name to PRP, power replacement petrol
