They may be ok for unleaded but they are not OK for the low octane that comes with unleaded !
Ethanol ? think it's to do with getting a cleaner exhaust, it makes the exhaust gas smell very different, notice it evertime I back the car out !
Edit -- I should have said they weren't built for the low octane of unleaded !
