so, from what I read, some people actually still use leaded gasoline?
7 0 ReplyIn the US the only source of leaded gasoline that I'm aware of is aviation gas. Lots of (all?) older piston-driven airplanes use it.

Boats, planes, gopeds, racing cars, farm equipment, old cars.
If you arent going to an actual boat/plane/tractor filling station and you just want to, for example, fuel up your goped, you just get regular unleaded and a lead additive and mix them before putting the fuel in the tank.
