In the US? Not really. Its sale is banned for use in cars. Wikipedia says there are a few exceptions for aircraft, farm equipment, and marine engines, but even in those fields I've never heard of it being used. It's also been pretty much phased out worldwide with a few tiny exceptions. What exactly are you referring to?

100LL is still a super common aviation fuel. It has a relatively low amount of tetra-ethyl lead, it it’s there.

I'm referring both to avgas (there's a measurable effect in populations near airfields) and leaded automobile fuel in a few countries in the world.
