Most likely it will shorten the life or ruin them. There is no direct correlation between the amount of fuel used & their life span. They may fail the first time you run it or they could last a long time.

Why the need for such a high octane? For most streetable cars, unleaded race fuel is fine & will not hurt your o2's. Do not think the best fuel will make more power..... it doesn't. Only run the octane you need.

I have had great luck with running leaded fuel with wideband 02's, they seem to last a long time.

Fix your fuel delivery problem before you hurt something.

High octane fuel is not meant to prevent lean mixture induced engine damage.
You are living life dangerously.

NTK wideband sensors last VERY long on leaded fuels. Unfortunently i believe only the FJO widebands are able to use them
