Every report I've read says that unless you're putting a LOT of stress
on the engine (racing, towing heavy loads, etc.) that there's nothing to 
worry about.

Don't forget that the amount of lead in leaded gas (back when it was
available here in the states) was less that was in unleaded when it
was first introduced.

So, if it's for a daily driver, don't worry about it.
