5 years experience with mogas in a composite airplane with composite tanks - no issues.
But I fly at least once a week.

I run 87 unleaded in my '50s era Massey Ferguson MF50 tractor, designed & built when unleaded was unheard of, (with only slightly higher parts cost and sophistication than certified aviation stuff) & it sits for as long as 3 or 4 months at a time in winter. Fires right up in the spring.
