Half the story is the lead acts as a octane booster, but raising the octane without lead chemicals is trivial. MTBE works, so does just selling pure toluene. The issue is that in addition to raising the octane, some metal lead deposits around the valves which maybe makes them seal better and switching away from lead could cause engine failures unrelated to octane. |
