COMMENTS
It is unknown if there are any other powers of 2 with this property (that is, the digits are composed only of the numbers 1,2,4,8).
No more powers of 2 with this property up to 2^(70000) (Saunders, J. of Recreational Mathematics, v. 26, p. 151). - Emeric Deutsch, Jul 15 2007
By looking at just the lowest 20 digits of the powers of 2, the Mathematica program shows that there are no other terms less than 2^10000000. - T. D. Noe, Apr 05 2008
