Default 15 gallons of race gas
Well my dad has some extra leaded race gas that i would LIKE to burn in my car. As far as i know i have stock O2 sensors. I know i won't get any performance out of it but we can't exactly throw the gas away. Can i burn lets say 2 gallons mixed with full tank of gas at a time?

I'd find something else to burn it in.

Dont run leaded gas in it. It will royally screw up your cats and 02 sensors. Put some staybil or some type of fuel stablizer and save it for later.

If you wanna use it up, just run it in your lawnmower. At least that way you're not wasting it.

Kiss your O2's good bye if you do. You might as well just try to sell it on a local automotive forum.
