You shouldn't really run any leaded fuel in a vehicle that doesn't require regular maintenance intervals.
Drag cars, drag bikes or FAA required aircraft maintenance requirements.
Lead additives like the original tetra-ethyl lead have special chemicals in them (lead bromides and chlorides) to disperse the lead into the air (think birth defects and reduced cognitive function) but newer lead fuels don't have the chlorides in them because of the risk of chlorinated hydrocarbons in the ozone layer. So the lead has a tendency to build up behind rings inside ring lands and force the ring out causing premature wear.
Obviously not good in an engine that requires pressure on top of the piston as well as under the piston to run.
VP racing makes the "streetblaze100" unleaded fuel which is "race gas" but not detrimental to the environment or to your engine. Maybe, if you don't have an aversion to paying $10 a gallon for fuel you could look into the streetblaze100....I personally will continue to run the 93 octance straight out of the pump....
