If you can find gasoline. It was all leaded at that point, and you're going to get exactly 0 fill-ups until the lead destroys every sensor in your engine. Take oil as well, the synthetics we have now didn't exist.

Good point. Unleaded gas didn't show up until the 1970s. I don't think leaded gas would even work in a fuel injected engine.

It would inject, and it would probably run for a short time - but then your O2 sensors would foul and who knows what else would fail.

Because benzene is so much safer than lead, right?

Nah it’s your car expecting unleaded will give you the middle finger with lead.

Ah, I was thinking about health issue.

Both lead and benzene are carcinogenic.

Benzene is even worse as it will kill anyone around when its concentration in air is closing 2% and up.
