I read once about the "lies of unleaded petrol"...
Basically there is sweet oil (low sulphur content) and sour oil (high sulphur content). Sour oil was cheaper, so gov't wanted
to use it, and began too, after a short while a yellow haze started appearing on the horizon in cities.. The gov't blamed
it on 'more cars', but stats showed that it wasnt.. it was the
cheap sour oil's sulphur. So they needed a solution..
A guy invented the catalytic convertor, all was well except it
didn't work with lead, so the gov't had to convince the public
that lead was bad so they could have unleaded petrol, so they
could run catalytic convertors, so they could use cheap sour oil.
Read it somewhere, I honestly believe it too.. just though it was interesting.
