Gas at the pumps has been unleaded for quite some time now.. the only place you can get leaded fuel is if you get it from a farm
and yes.. run premium all the time, unless you like the sound of motors going poof

are you serious?
leaded fuel is pretty much now known as race gas, and it would acutally technically be better for your car due to it having a much higher octane (resistance to knock) rating than unleaded. but the leaded fuel can clog catylitic converters and foul out o2 sensors.
unfortunately it is also much more expensive.
run premium, thats if you like your apex seals.
btw most gas sold at a gas station is unleaded, there is 100 octane unleaded, but that is a s expensive as race gas (110 leaded)

^ I'm with him. And it's not okay to add "octane boosters" to lower grades of gas to try to make up for it. Most octane boosters, there are some that actually do work but I don't have the link handy, won't have any affect at all.
