Avgas is leaded... both 87 (the red stuff) and 100 (the blue stuff) are. Illegal to run it in street driven cars.

Not only is leaded gas illegal, but running it in a car with a cat (Catalytic Converter) will cause the it (the cat, that is) to clog and burn up. Not a good idea, unless you like to intentionally break your car so you can fix it... like my friend, Mike.

Larry,
Be careful, even though you don't have a cat in your track car, I bet you have an O2 sensor. The leaded gas will destroy it. Don't ask how I know this. You should try mixing in some 100 octane unleaded (available at most all tracks) with your premium.
