Whatever works to prevent air pollution is fine with me. Meanwhile, the air is still pretty bad in Beijing... Worst smog in a month hits Beijing as Olympic athletes leave it to the last minute to acclimatise to poor air dailymail.co.uk

>>One of the great crimes of ignorance [though I believe some people were culpable] was to put lead in petrol/gasoline.<< Wow, I just found out they still use tetra-ethyl lead in aviation gas! According to this Wiki report, they use much higher amounts of lead in Australia/New Zealand. Where's the outrage? 100/130 Avgas 100/130 had a higher octane grade aviation gasoline, containing a maximum of 4 grams of lead per US gallon, maximum 1.12 grams/litre. 100LL "low lead" has replaced avgas 100/130 in most places, but Avgas 100/130 is still sold in Australia and New Zealand as one of the two manufacturers in Australia is unable to make Avgas 100LL.[citation needed] en.wikipedia.org
