@DrSurprise i know lead isnt good at all, it causes mental development problems in young toddlers but doesnt affect adults alike
-
@DrSurprise they took the lead out and replaced it with Benzine which is carcinogenic in smallest amounts.. unleaded petrol actually releases more pollutants on a car without catalytic converter than the same car running on leaded. I work at a garage and i have compared my old volvo's emmissions with leaded / unleaded and found a rather great difference in Hydrocarbons and monoxide.. It appears leaded burns slightly cooler and more completetely
-
unleaded isn't all that dirty but I'm not an oil refiner so I can't say anything. All I know is, i'd rather have unleaded gas burning then leaded gas burning which will lead to mental problems and nerve system damage and other disorders.

Yep, 1968. Texaco was a major sponsor of the 1968 Summer Olympics on ABC and most of these ads debuted about that time (the others had the Men from Texaco singing "Jack Benny Won't You Please Fill Up" to the tune of "Bill Bailey", when Jack would only buy one gallon on each trip into the station).
