Default Avgas 100LL?

Curious if using avgas 100LL would be good, bad or ugly in my F-Type S? Benefits? Risks? Waste of $? Thoughts?

Please be nice if this is the stupidest question of the week… lol.

Your cat converters wouldn't like the lead content.

Generally on a car tuned to run the 100LL you assume the cats have been removed.

As a default, increasing the octane will not gain anything unless you are octane limited. You'd be better served by mixing some E85 in there, it's effectively about 105 octane, a slight blend to bring your tank to E25-30 is a similar boost in octane but often won't push the car lean enough to cause issues.

Are you just doing it for fun or is there a goal here?
