As of Jan 1, 1986, regular "leaded" gas can have no more than .1g/gal
of lead, the same as regular "unleaded".  Does anyone out there in
netland know what, if any, differences remain in the content of regular
leaded and unleaded gas?  If they are now the same, what accounts for
the price difference of about 7 cents/gallon that I see?  For all I
know, stations are filling both their storage tanks with identical fuel
yet still charging more for unleaded.
