Race Gas Question
Anyone know short and long term negative effects of running on leaded fuel?

Thanks

From what I have been told it will destroy your O2 sensors and mess up your cats.

You can find 100 octane unleaded though.

Buddy is correct. I autoshop (27 years ago), our teacher told us that leaded gas will destroy your catalytic coverters. I don't know what it will do to the 02 sensors, but it could be an expensive decision. Can you even buy leaded gas?

Get 100 octane.
