I fly full scale jets and can tell you that we CAN use unleaded gasoline. But its not something we do on a regular basis if theres JP-8 to be had. Its listed as an alternate source of fuel. As far as general aviation using unleaded gas....isnt there a conversion kit you can buy that's FAA approved that would let you use unleaded gas? Thought one of my instructors had one when I was getting my privates. I dont see it as a big deal, but Im sure that constant use will wear the engine down faster than you'd like
