    MFI and unleaded fuel. Problem?

    I'm sure I'm not the first to be concerned about the lack of lead in the fuel and how it may affect the service life of the MFI pump - does it matter? Has anyone logged enough miles/hours on an MFI car running unleaded to have symptoms of premature pump wear? If this is a concern, is there a preferred fuel additive? Since I have MFI-on-the-brain lately, I thought I'd throw this out.

    I think this is a subjective question at best...but like previous worries about valve seats with unleaded, I'm hoping fears of MFI pumps not getting enough gas lube are unfounded. BUT...with many fuels now containing the known solvent of alcohol? I dunno. I do add Marvel Mystery Oil to the tank once in a while...with absolutely no clue whether or not it does any good.
