Paul,

I went to the 100LL forum also and the people their said that there was
only two lead manufacturers in the world, one in Russia, one in England.
The one in England is the only one that supplies lead to us, and they told
they are losing more and more business every year, as lead gets phased out
around the world. They would lose money making lead for just the U.S.
aviation market. So people might get screwed by economics instead of the
EPA.

The price should rise to the point where it is cheaper to modify the engines
for lower octane no lead without help from the EPA. It is stupid to focus on
the pollution of five airplane flying around the LA basin when five million 
cars are on the road in the same area.
