Perhaps in one way. But the pollution from MTBE, lead's old

And using food to make alky as a replacement oxyginate hasn't
been so wonderful either.

At least the lead killed the in-tank bacteria and didn't pick up
water to rust or freeze in your fuel lines/tanks.

Since Wisconsin has required up to 10% alcohol in gas sold in the SE
corner of the state, gas line antifreeze is no longer necessary. The
alcohol combines with the water and keeps it from freezing. Maybe
chemistry is different where you live.

Of course, the alcohol cuts gas mileage 10-20% and we pay extra for it...
