Article-I.D.: mcnc.1501 Posted: Sun Jan 30 21:10:32 1983 Received: Mon Jan 31 03:57:21 1983 References: decvax.408 The years for Datsun's regular gas use are not correct. I have a 1978 B-210 and a 1978 280Z. Both use regular gas. California cars at that time used unleaded and my Z has a place for a temperature indicator light for a catalytic convertor. Incidently, at the time GM had a big ad campaign to the effect that Datsun was trading fuel economy for regular. Considering the 5 years I have had with 40+ mpg on the B-210 and 30- mpg on the 280Z along with the price differential I think the Datsun approach was a good deal at the time. It is my impression that Datsun went to unleaded for some models in 1979 and others in 1980, but I am not sure. Jack Buchanan
