Why can't I run on Mogas?

With Avgas prices going through the roof, why can't I use mogas at over 35% less? I wouldn't mind adding extra lead (like old cars use) & I don't fly over 3500 feet so there should be no problem with air bubbles at altitude.

I have a new Lycoming 360 engine but I really wouldn't care if the TBO reduced slightly and judging by the after sales service I have had so far, the guarantee isn't worth much

The other benefit is I would save on useless landing fees etc, I reckon I can save £30 - £40 per hour but am I allowed to do it in the UK or can I put the machine on a different reg & do it?
