The main thing with avgas is the different carbon chain. It won't varnish and/or break down so it stores well.

Aviation engines are low compression and low speed engines. They don't need any fuel issues while in use, you can't just pull over and wait for a service truck if the engine decides to quit running because of poor fuel.

I use to store engines using avgas just to keep the system from varnishing.
