Hi: i seem to have missed any thread with this topic though did come across this one from 2017.

What is the current position please re our cars and in particular a 190 and 260 of 2002 and 2004 vintage respectively.

Presumably get E5 as long as we can or use the dearer super unleaded or an additive - any suggestions? Big change starts in September 2021

Hi Steve,

This covers your KV6 190. I doubt that you'll find the 260 engine listed as it's American. However I remember all the fuss about unleaded and the 1950s Buick V8 in my SD1 ran perfectly well on it without modification or adjustment so don't let all the hype get to you.
