Most countries have phased out leaded fuel. Different additives have replaced the lead compounds. The most popular additives include aromatic hydrocarbons, ethers and alcohol (usually ethanol or methanol). Lead used to be added to petrol and this was the source of high levels of lead in the air.Related Questions on Chemistry
