And its still not entirely banned in the US, AVGAS for small planes is a "low" lead fuel that still contains a decent amount of lead.

Avgas is the last hold out for that, yes. But piston powered airplanes are becoming rarer and rarer.

Yeah but 100LL is also still legal (and required) in Europe. My comment is specifically talking about automotive gas
