In Canada, 100-octane avgas is still ordinary high-lead 100-octane, not the
100LL available in the U.S.  Aircraft often get lead-fouled plugs from
it, *particularly* if they are older engines designed for 80-octane.
So if you use it in a car, be on the lookout for lead fouling.
(I don't know how much less lead the 100LL in the U.S. has - it might
be much less of a problem, but it might not).
