flying: In which I pretend to fly a real airplane

Due to various circumstances, I was running low on the "pure" gas, so I refueled with 100LL at a pump for big boys.
While I was there, the next guy in line helped me to deal with the hose. Hose of an airplane pump is much thicker and heavier than that on a common car pump, and something was not working in the latching mechanism of its spool. Anyhow, he held it down while I filled up for 6 gallons (a Cherokee in which I learned to fly takes 50). The helpful gentleman was quite amazed that it was all.

How's it handle the 100LL? While I know there aren't issues with a catalytic convertor, are there other engine things that don't like the lead in an engine set up for car gas?
(I only got to put leaded in my ancient Honda motorcycle once, and it liked it quite a bit).

The 100LL is lead in name only anyhow. It's not like the 80 Red. So all it takes is oil change more often.
