  Isn't it illegal to mix leaded and unleaded gas ?

  I thought that one way of stopping people, who should use unleaded gas, from
using leaded gas, was by making the nozzels on the pumps and the entry port
into the gas tank different sizes. 

  Does this only apply to cars that *must* use unleaded gas ??
