AvGas?? (Aviation GAS)

hey guys...

looking around locally. i found that AvGas is readily available at a kind of affordable price..
so now i am thinking of running my new setup on only this AvGas...it is rated anywhere between a minimum 100oct and a max130

however it is generally reffered to as 100oct.

my question is...is there any ANY ANY downside running this kinda gas other than the cost?
Any special modifications to the gas tank or any other fuel system part that needs to be done?


thanks in advance

avgas is a lowlead gas, does not depend on any thing, and even though it is low lead it still chews up the o2 pretty fast, we have ran a few evo's on it in the last few years, yes it is cheap but there are better options

it is possable no code required, it has been done in 100's of evos and thousands of other cars, i used to run a 1g off of it and we ran an evo in the 11's all season with it last year
