We didnt have deisel just two and four star and the pipes used to swing out over the pavement and we used to fill cars as people walked past.

I think what’s now considered regular, is the unleaded equivalent of 4 star. The 2 & 3 star petrol had a lower octane level than modern regular fuel. Premium now has a higher octane rating again, in addition to all the additives to keep engines, turbos, cat’s etc clean.
My first car used 3 star, and it ran like a bag of s…
Sorry Santa your right it was regular and premium memory slipping a bit with age.

Back in the good ol’ carburated days, to do a decoke was easy.Take the air filter off and start the engine when it’s nice and hot.
Gun the motor at the same time as tipping in a teaspoon or two of Redex nice and slowly - watch the street fill with smoke
Rev 'til smoke clears, pop filter back on , job done.
Simples.
Have a look at 5th post back.
