    It’s 10% in the winter and 15% in the summer (at least that’s the legal limit), although I think that’s changing. So I guess they just said what the hell and put on both stickers?

          Woah. I didn’t know leaded gasoline was still available anywhere.

          General Aviation fuel (think propeller planes) use Avgas still uses tetraethyl lead, which is “leaded gasoline”.

          So there’s a shit load of caveats. One there’s only a few places i know in the state that sell it. It’s supposedly only for small engine purposes, and it’s illegal to pump into a car. There’s daily limits imposed by the gas station and weekly and yearly limits imposed by the state I think, but I never looked them up.

        Weve known Lead was poisonous since the romans and we decided to add a derivative of it to our fuel on a massive scale. We sure are smart.

            And invented a bed with a bunch of wires and pullies for people who are crippled (after he got polio). Oh a good idea from the worst man ever you might think, NOPE this invention was also deadly and after a malfunction killed him.
