in my 18-RC i ran a mix of LRP "leaded" fuel and premium unleaded, never had a problem, and when i say mix, i mean i would run a tank of leaded then maybe 3 tanks of unleaded than some more leaded ect,
i've contacted both shell and mobil on this matter and they both gave me the same answer, if a car is made to run on leaded to cushion the valve seats than you can use one tank of leaded per two tanks of unleaded as the lead "or whatever they use now" would stay around protecting the valve seats while unleaded was being used, just remember one thing, LRP "leaded" is of higher octane than normal unleaded, so if you wish to use unleaded fuel then make sure its a premium mix so your engine is getting the same if not more octane as it was designed for.
18-RC is a tough engine and mine sure got a work out, did the trip between melbourne and sydney 4 times all running on premium unleaded and the engine never got a rest the whole way down and it never showed any problems from using unleaded fuel. only thing that killed it in the end was me writing it off but hey the engine still ran afterwards and still got me home
