Octane is completely unrelated to the lubricating properties of lead. Your car can use regular fuel and still need lead for valve seat lubrication. Almost every modern car post-1970 is engineered with valves and seats that no longer require lead in the fuel and I suspect yours is similar. In the US, leaded fuel is banned and many old Volvos from the 1970s soldier on with hundreds of thousands of miles, unaffected. So I would use regular fuel and ignore the additives.
