Default gasoline for lawnmower

Leaded fuel is NOT required (or even desired) in 2 stroke engines.
Lead was required to protect the valves, which the VAST majority of 2
stroke gasoline engines do not have.

Tetraethyl lead was added more to increase the octane rating of gasoline
than protection of the engine parts.
