Tom wants to tell the EPA that we need lead in our gasoline and they would better spend their time triing to eliminate tobacco smoke, acid rain.... I would say the EPA should not be influenced by special interests. If lead out of all gas would improve the environment, then it is a good thing, regardless of how it effects special interest groups. And as speed racer points out, tetra-ethyl lead is available in concentrated form for those who *really* nead it. The essence of the proposed legislation is to keep lead out of cars that were intended to be run on unleaded. Bob Kunz {hplabs!hp-pcd, fluke, teltone}!hplsla!kunz (206) 335-2135
