I agree that those people who need the extra octane of leaded gas will
probably add the octane boosters.  However, it is my understanding that
the ban on leaded fuel is an attempt to stop a much larger group that
substitutes leaded fuel for unleaded to save the $.05 or so per gallon
cost difference.  The change would in effect make leaded fuel MORE
expensive than unleaded.
