Silly Question...

[plev]

Under the gas flap of my '91 ZR-1 the instructions to use unleaded gas only are written in English and in French. Why the French?

everytime I drive the car I keep thinking of questions, most i can find answers to by searching old posts but this one doesn't seem to have come up before.

Is this a feature of Canadian only cars or was it on all of them? Can't remember what it says inside mine (which is a US car)

My 1993 ZR-1 has the instructions in English and French.

Thanks, that is exactly what I thought. However these cars have such an interesting history I thought perhaps a few had been specifically built for the French market or something weird like that. I was secretly hoping I had some really unique and rare car that was worth six figures!!

No that would be my car. It's a 90 and SN #64 and it has the French there too :icon_scra

My 84 had this so I would have to say all the cars had this.Gas flap?

It's just like the switch to change the dash to metric. El Cheapo GM was pinching pennies... Most all of GM's US cars are also sold in Canada.

Gas flap?
The body panel you flip up to expose the filler cap.
