- gorkish 3y agoYes. Adding lead to fuel makes it better and less expensive, which is why it's still done for aviation fuel. I'm not advocating for it, of course, but acting as if there is some kind of conspiracy is just ridiculous. Humans, historically, have consumed all available energy resources; the humans who consume the most energy generally have the largest advantage. This simple fact does not seem likely to change.
