However, the O2 sensor can be affected (the engine will run leaner/ avgas is denser) and the catalytic converters can be affected.
The O2 sensors and Cat will be more than effected. Leaded gas can destroy an O2 sensor is very little time. It will also clog and destroy the CAT in pretty short order. Best to steer well clear.
