Someone told me a while back that I should add a lead substitute to today's
unleaded gas to preserve the valves and head that were made for use with
leaded gas.  At the corner auto parts store, I find only octane boosters.
Do I need this or a true lead substitute?  Or are they the same thing?  Or
just use premium gas?  Am I just avoiding ping, or is there more to it?
