It is also very poisonous. However, if your car doesn't need the extra octane, there are addittives with "normal" lead that lubes the valve seat but don't raise the octane. This makes them cheap and safer to handle. Sorry I can't name a brand but they are out there. David Swank II !ctvax!uokvax!uok!dswankii University off Oklahoma
