If you have it and don't mind the cost, go ahead and use it. The Darmah doesn't need octane that high and it won't really give you that rocket fuel feeling but it is probably of a more consistent quality and cleaner.

Exactly what I was thinking, I was after better protection with the lead + better quality of fuel. At the same time I didn't want to put any more pressure on the engine and damage it in anyway
