OXYGENATED FUELS
To meet clean air standards, some areas of the United States and Canada require oxygenated
fuel. Oxygenated gasoline may cause poor performance and rough idle and will cause increased
fuel consumption.
Before buying, try to confirm the fuel's specifications. Some states/provinces require this
information to be posted on the pump.
Here are the maximum percentages of oxygenates allowed by Lambretta for your scooter:
ETHANOL (ethyl or grain alcohol)—Up to 10% by Volume (may be marketed as GASOHOL)
MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether)—Up to 15% by Volume
