<VV> Aviation fuel (gas) in Corvairs

[JVHRoberts at aol.com]

You wouldn't. unleaded is a Godsend. VASTLY cleaner engines, MUCH longer  
lasting, etc. 
Besides, in my parts, I can get 115 octane unleaded from VP Fuels. Albeit  at 
$7 a gallon...

It's  possible (and even likely)  that I'm out of date, but I thought 
that  the most common avgas was still 100LL and has about .5g of lead per 
liter  (or about 4 times what regular leaded gas had) .

If modern avgas is  only 87-91 octane AND has lead, then why in the world 
would you want that  for a Corvair over 93 unleaded?

Easier ways to get octane? Every track  I've been to sells high octane 
unleaded.... and my local gas station sells  high octane leaded CAM2  
(though I'm not certain what the lead  percentage is, I thought that it 
was similar to the older regular leaded  street fuels)
