You are wrong.  Lead was 'anti-knock' compounds used to increase the octane rating.  The myth was that it was to 'lubricate the valves' or something, which isn't really true.  Knocking will cause burnt valves and other engine damage.





except it is true

Quote:

A side effect of the lead additives was protection of the valve seats from erosion. Many classic cars' engines have needed modification to use lead-free fuels since leaded fuels became unavailable. However, "Lead substitute" products are also produced and can sometimes be found at auto parts stores. These were scientifically tested and some were approved by the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs at the UK's Motor Industry Research Association (MIRA) in 1999.[19]

yes, that is how I understand it.  I remember right before they changed to unleaded, the octane ratings at the pump would be like 102~110.  Because a lot of cars had high-compression engines in those days.





there were few places around here that carried 102 octane, most stopped in
the 98 range and the 102+ was labeled as blue/racing fuel, still sold at the
pumps for a short time now it's only available at the airport and through
some racing outlets up to 110 octane

I use premium gas, but only because my car needs it.

In the southwest in the late 60's, gasoline ranged up to 110.  At the pumps.
