Refineries once used Pb in gas too. How did that work so much better? Should we still burn leaded gas so we can inhale the fumes in big cities?

So now you’ve advanced to using the old progressive argument that if we don’t MANDATE the use of ethanol, the heavy metal lead must become an additive to gasoline. Prohibition of (ACTUAL) poisonous products is a legitimate function of government mandating the use of something such as ethanol is not.

Try not to mix the two in an illogical manner.

Yep, and you bought leaded gas and never complained about it. ETOh is toxic but not close to Pb. It is a replacement for Pb in gas. Recall, it came about as Pb was removed in order to boost octane and prevent premature combustion.
