The primary advantage of Av Gas is that it doesn"t gum up or varnish fuel systems. That is why my seasonal equipment is filled and ran a little while with 100LL before parking. Other than some cantankerous P&W radials , few aircraft engines require lead. As previously stated the concern is Reid pressure. Who wants a vapour locked engine when at altitude. Although most piston aircraft never exceed the altitude where oxygen for the pilot and Reid Pressure is a concern. Carb icing is another problem but that really isn"t a fuel problem. Other than wanting lots of octane when at full throttle while carb heat is on. Once at cruise most aircraft engine most reciprocating aircraft engines would run ok on 87 octane. Problem is the logistics of carrying high and low of tanks of fuel. It ain"t practical. So fill"er up with 94UL or 100LL.
