I suspect it'd be a waste of time.

100LL is a fallacy. The lead content remains very high. Low lead compared to say Herculaneum MO maybe but in relation to fuels no. Runs well in all engines IMO and my boat looks good at the airport taking fuel on every so often.

Caveat: several GA locations require a tail or N number for fuel disbersment. May I offer you our prez's "N166ER" tail number or just ask the FBO.

And for the record, I was talking about dirt desert. Taking a relic 250cc air cooled 2 stroke tweaked to the point it puts out 300% greater power than stock and running the thing for 24 hours pretty much WFO the entire time setting a world endurance record in the desert does give me a relative understanding of what octane does in a 2 stroke be it an ATV or an outboard.
