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. Alan Gant, CONVEX Computer Corporation {uiucdcs,allegra,ihnp4}!convex!gant
