Warren Montgomery's recent article referred to the lead additives in gasoline
as being there for lubrication. Aren't they really really there to improve
the octane rating and reduce knocking? 

	Back to the topic he was talking about: lead accumulation in the
cities. Big surprise! Where did everyone figure it was going? "Burned up
in the engine"? And just where do you think all the asbestos from tens
of millions of worn-out brake pads and shoes has gone? Yep, turned into
dust for us all to breathe. Just makes your day, doesn't it?
