I guess nobody remembers American Oil Company premium gasoline (the high dollar one, not regular) that BOASTED non-leaded, clean fuel, kept your engine clean of deposits. This was way back there, don't remember when but I think the late '60's. You don't suppose that lead was a CHEAP way for the petrolieum industry to get the octane to the govt. standards, now do you..............naw. Amazing, when the EPA or whomever started the lead whining cycle, all of a sudden, unleaded was available..............but oh it cost more....geez, did I miss something. If all of us poor misserable wage earners believed all the crap that is crammed in our faces by all the special interest groups (from cereals to Viagra)
this country would have been gone a long time ago. Thank something or someone, we just aren't that stupid.......yet. Mark
