minus-squarejubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.worksOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·16 hours agoE-85 as in (up to) 85% ethanol. Gotta subsidize those corn farmers somehow.
minus-squareboaratio@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·16 hours agoNo, it has ethanol in it. Not lead. Ethanol is made from corn and it’s subsidized by the government so farmers can sell their excess corn.
minus-squaretexture@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·14 hours agoim relieved to hear that. odd that they label all of them except the cheapest as “unleaded”.

minus-squareayyy@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up2·16 hours agoThe other answers are correct but also for the record, I don’t think you can buy pre-mixed leaded gasoline anywhere in the US (maybe on a private racetrack?). You have to buy the lead and mix it in yourself.
