I have an 87 city 998, recently ran out of fuel and the car now sometimes jumps and flutters a little when I put my foot right down on the accelerator, has this got something to do with letting her run right out of fuel or another thought i had was am i using the right fuel, unleaded? Any help with this would be much appreciated as its bloody annoying.

Cheers

I agree with the above and as you own a pre-1989 Mini, then you should really be using a lead replacement additive.
