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.

But there is some cancer risk due to the higher level
of benzenes, and don’t you have prostate cancer ?

Benzene is bioaccumulative. It collects in bone marrow.

First I had heard that and I was a chemist at one time.
