Default Aviation Gas

Does or any have run Aviation gas in their Cobra? I have a older Backdraft with 4,500 miles with a Ford Crate 392 Race Engine that is rated at 430 HP. Not going for performance but rather running decent gas vs. 93 octane with 10% or less ethanol that craps out carburetors.

There is a small airport near the house that will sell Aviation fuel rated at 100 octane and no ethanol for $4.50 a gallon if you bring your own fuel cell (which I have).

I would imagine there should be no damage on the car since there are no catalytic converters.

If you have ran Aviation gas, appreciate you letting me know of your experience. And if you know of any reason not to run the gas, let me that too.

Thank you,
Nathan
