AVGAS

[Joe Curran]

Paul,

AVGAS is leaded, 106 octane, and a bit expensive. Being leaded, it is
also bad for you and everyone else.

Check out this site (and do a search online):

Most notably:
>>>
With the development of electronically controlled fuel systems in popular 
vehicles, and its increasing accessibility to the motor racing fraternity 
through after market computer systems, leaded fuels, and high-lead AVGAS in 
particular have become less popular as they render ineffective the exhaust 
mounted oxygen sensors used to measure engine tune in as little as 25-50 
hours of running, compared to over 500 hours for unleaded fuels. However, 
this is basically an issue of cost, not technical merit.

You don't have a catalytic converter, do you?
