Well it's all about what comes out the exhaust pipe that ADR27A was all about and they put EGR on most engines back then but not all as Valiant 6 cyl use another system but lost the small 215ci 6 cyl and holden 308 manual did not need EGR.
So you see a 173ci 6 cyl did not pass in the HX holden because she had to work to hard in the test so most engines grew bigger in most cars at the time to pass the new laws.
It was all about the health of people in the big citys and Sydney had stricter ADR law than the rest of aus.
Then it came to unleaded, only so you could use a cat converter to burn more nasty fuel coming out the exhaust but now the problem is the unleaded fuel is the danger envro problem so E10 is the fix to that problem.
The problem is real and it is not a lie.
