Type?
You mean Brand name? or Octane rating?
Neither of which will do anything. If there's a high % of ethanol in the brand of gas you get, there could be performance issues. but not to the untrained eye/ear.
Not sure I completely understand your question. Hope that helps.

If you mean from Leaded to Unleaded, then you're still fine. Todays gasoline has all kinds of additives. Unlike the fuel of yesteryear.
