Yes.

The biggest risk of leaded gas is that you will "poison" the catalytic converter, meaning that you'll flunk your next emissions test. However, apparently you might get away with using a couple of gallons.

Otherwise, occasional use of leaded fuel shouldn't hurt your engine. If I were stuck in the middle of the Amazon with an empty gas tank, I'd definitely accept any leaded fuel that came my way.

Be aware that most pumps that still sell leaded gas use larger nozzles (deliberately) that won't fit in the fuel filler of unleaded cars. So you'll need a long funnel or something like that.
