What grade of fuel should i run my 1984 Manta 1.8s auto on?

Opinions differ on this,unleaded,super-unleaded,additives,advance-

retard ignition.Help!

Also the car seems very low geared,4000 rpm at 70mph?Is that about

right?

The car is totally standard by the way

Many thanks in advance. blink.gif

Revs to speed ratio sounds about right to me, my old Cavvy CIH 2.0 auto felt much the same but I do remember it being essentialy a 3-spd box and able to hit 85 in 2nd so was no slouch either.

Cheers, Colin.
