    The lead or lead substitute mostly helps when driving fast and hot, 
or under other heavy load conditions. That being said, when I can afford 
it I mix in about a quarter of a tank of 110 octane leaded racing fuel. 
That cushions the valve seats, and gets the octane up around 95-97, 
where it really belongs.
