The purpose of lead in gas was not to keep the gas from evaporating. It was to lubricate the valve seats/guides. I have never owned a carburated car that didn't need at least a couple pumps of the 'foot feed' to get it started when the engine was cold. Fuel injection or throttle body injection is a different story...
