This stuff is lead tetra-ethyl, the "lead" in leaded. It's pretty expensive, but you probably don't need too much if you're not making 103 octane. 2) As far as I know, there is nothing illegal about mixing leaded and unleaded; I do it all the time. The illegal thing is to introduce leaded gasoline into a vehicle designed for unleaded. In general, this applies to US cars 1975 or later, (for Chrysler 1976). Cars made after that date do have special fillers to prevent the leaded nozzles from being utilized. Cars before 1975 can be filled from either. (My 'Vette has a filler hole so big you could fill it with a bucket.) (signed) Speed Racer
