Leaded fuel
I just wanted to know if it was ok to run leaded gas in my car. I dont have cats in so wouled this be a problem? The reason I ask this is because I live in a aeronautical community and we have a self service gas station which has 110 octane gas, which people use in the planes. The gas is only 2.50 a gallon, because we buy directly from a Chevron distributor.
Thanks
Josh

the higher the octane, the lower temp and slower it burns, thats y u need higher octane to resist detonation, detonation occures when fuel ignites when its not supposed to, in other words when its easier for it to burn (higher octane burning slower) and easier for it to ignite (higher octane burning at a lower temp) why do u think ur egt's are lower when u run race fuel than when u run pump gas

Lead "poisons" O2 sensors, wideband AND narrowband. It cuts the life down from 80,000 mi to about 5,000-15,000 miles. NOt a real option.
Replacesing the sensors isn't cheap. The primaries are not that easy to get to, but still pretty manageable (just not on jackstands).

Yeah I knew I spelled it wrong, this is why I hate leaving my little coments my spelling is weak now you all know my terrible seceret
Anyways sensors is a word that should be spelled the way it sounds, so to me its sencers.
