Lead is an environmental no-no, so I guess that it is not lead in the gas anyway. Anyway, I have once read a news bulletin from VW, stating that EVERY VW-engine built after 1947 and Audi engine after 1965 is safe to run on unleaded gas. The heads on my '73 Square have ran at least 75000 kms on unleaded gas, with no problems whatsoever.
