Friend of mine has access to it, he says its not AVGAS but racing fuel? I thought it was the same thing... Anyway, I'm running an APR chip with stock KO3s and Neuspeed exhaust as my only mods.

leaded gas isnt going to kill off your O2's with just one use...more like by one hundred times used

I've known people who blew their 02's by running that gas fella.

Default Cats won't like it. Should be fine for one time though. Your plugs may also get fouled. O2s will

be fine.

the point is, leaded gas will foul O2 sensors in the long run, not from just a few uses..

Default Toluene is 114 octane; mix in 2 gallons with about 10 ounces of MMO and see what happens - totally

safe (unless you spill it on your paint). MMO = Marvel Mystery Oil. I have run such a mix for years without so much as a CEL being triggered. It cleans out the injectors as a side bonus. Might be slightly more expensive, but it is perfectly safe (unlike leaded gasoline).

You could always buy VP104. I've run 100 octane unleaded and i get +10 degrees of timing! )
