For the younger folks here is some information about lead in gas. There are two grams of lead per gallon of avgas. TWO GRAMS! That is the equivalent of a half teaspoon of sugar. In the olden days all gasoline had lead. Millions of cars drove around burning leaded fuel, not even low lead. You were lucky to get seven miles to the gallon. That was a lot of leaded fuel being burned. The people at risk for lead poisoning were the gas station attendants, (in those days someone pumped your fuel for you). The attendant pumped gas all day constantly. There is no comparison to the usage of low lead in airplanes. Banning low leaded fuel for airplanes running ancient designed engines is ridiculous. Feel good legislation with a very negative impact on the aviation community.
