Maybe it was all the lead in the air?

Let's get back to leaded gasoline!!!!

See the problem was tetraethyl lead, it'll be healthy if we just chuck a block of lead in the gas tank.

Oh man, you reminded me of the existence of Thomas Midgley Jr., just one of the absolute guys of all time. That he died in his own Wallace-and-Gromit-like bed contraption is just the perfect end for him.

Don't forget about Charles F. Kettering. Knew the adverse affects and fought to put lead in everything anyways for the profit. He's very highly regarded in the automotive industry, his name is on lots of things.
