Default 100 octain low lead

I recently started working at an airport and some of the planes they refill take this 100 octian low lead. some of the guys run it in there older cars with no cat and o2'S, My question is what would this gas do to my car? i have no cats but i still have my o2's sensers is this just a bad idea or can i get away with it?

Not going to be very friendly at all with 02 sensors.

Airplane fuel has a few additives that are bad when used at sea level. Seen a lot of knock and at times could even hear it outside the car.

VP makes a great 100 unleaded.

It'll make your car slower than running 93 too.

It would be better to go with an unleaded race gas.

I am almost done with aircraft maintenance school and for the cost of it I would just go with low led.

Now if you had a desiel car or truck run the jet fuel in your car.
When my dad had one he would fill up with it when they got ready to fill the tanks. It would be dirty fuel but desiel fuel is dirty. Free Gas

I know some guys that use a leaded race gas but they are older EFI cars that have cheap O2 sensors.
