It is fairly trivial to avoid drinking gasoline. For example, I managed it 100 per cent of the time so far, and I am 43.

It is not as trivial to avoid breathing in lead when you live around cars that use leaded gasoline.

Toxic fumes from burning unleaded gasoline are actually a big problem and your car has a lot of expensive catalytic stuff to limit them.

How many of the toxic fumes from unleaded gasoline bioaccumulate though? As far as I know, CO and NOx do not bioaccumulate. The other stuff, partially burned/unburnt hydrocarbons, I don't know about.

Sure. I totally agree. That doesn't mean it's not poison though.

Never had an old Kawasaki KLR650 with a leaking gas tank, eh? :-)
