What I am trying to say that when unleaded fuels entered the market they
were toxic. You wouldn't want to inhale the vapours or get any splashed
on your hands.

More so than regular 4-star ?

I often use petrol for cleaning oily car components. And don't bother with
gloves. My hands didn't fall off after unleaded disappeared.

The risk you take is your choice, of all the things I don't do, is allow
petrol on my hands. I avoid inhaling the fumes.

Benzene and other aromatics have been known as a potent carcinogen for
decades. Typically leukaemias and blood cancers.
