Not only that, but 100LL means exactly what it says...LOW lead.  Not
NO lead. Your car, along with its O2 sensor, catalytic converters,
etc...is not designed for leaded fuel...-at all-.

You'll probably also get some -really- peculiar looks(if they let you
fill up at all, since it doesn't have federal highway taxes etc in
the price.)  Especially in today's "oh my god they must be
terrorists" atmosphere(witness the congressman running around like a
chicken with his head cut off claiming we need to better protect
nuclear facilities, despite said facilities telling everyone that
you'd need something DAMN impressive to even make a dent in the
dome), you'd probably get arrested trying to fill up any sizeable
container.
