I presume it is compatible.  I don't know about the US, but super inleaded
in this country (New Zealand) often contains quite a bit of Toluene (up to
about 30% I think).  One memorable shipment was 60% Toluene, and caused
several engine fires in older vehicles when the rubber fuel components
dissolved.

I have not heard of it killing lambda sensors.

Mike
