Leaded gas is on the (long overdue) way out, now that there's finally an unleaded option approved for the entire piston fleet.
A modern piston plane can get the equivalent of 30 MPG, and fly directly to its destination. So there's no need to rag on it.

I feel like it is my right to "rag" on something which doesn't have to follow the same rules as I do. To be fair, my neighbors probably emit 10X the pollution running their backpack-mounted, gas-powered leaf blowers and open fire pits year round. I rag on them too, and display my rake in protest.
