I can't imagine why anyone would want to go back to leaded fuel in their
cars. Remember valve jobs? Lead can really gum stuff up. IMHO

Just because you can get away with it--fueling at many small airports is
self-serve--doesn't mean it's legal (or ethical). You might be putting the
supplier of the fuel at risk (esp. if an eco-Nazi spots you doing that).
Just to be clear, I have no problem with people running leaded gas in their
cars--I burn it in airplanes--but it is a legal gray zone that could cause
the
supplier some grief.
