Yer Zed will run on cooking unleaded, but according to Steve who runs Piston Broke Engineering in Bristle, it is a much better idea to run the higher octane or super unleaded. The lead in the old fuel was great as it acted as an upper cylinder lubricant. I'm not sure if any additives would actually help - I some how doubt they contain lead :evil:
