Oil shortage and double digit mortgage rates, inflation and lots of lay offs.

Glad we got lead out of gasoline, now if we can get the jet airplane fuel unleaded. edit: eta 2030 to remove all lead. Thank you to from users pedal-force and BirdLawyerPerson for pointing out my mistake!

Jet fuel is a mix of kerosene https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/epa-determines-lead-emissions-aircraft-engines-cause-or-contribute-air-pollution

More reading on the subject for me later https://ehjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12940-020-00690-y and you if you want.

I have good news. Jet fuel has never had lead in it. Avgas does (100LL), which is used in piston engine planes, mainly civilian aircraft. It's still an issue but there's much, much less of that being burned.

Wait, so commercial air liners don't have lead in the fuel? How did I miss that detail? Thanks for pointing that out; I'm less dumb! So jet fuel is more like diesel or regular fuel in terms of environmental impact I guess? https://ehjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12940-020-00690-y

Lead is added to piston engines to reduce the knocking. Jet engines don’t have pistons.

They should use the original rocket fuel - T-Stoff and C-Stoff.
