The only problem is that all the fuel used in all of private aviation is a drop in the bucket of total carbon emissions. It's not low-hanging fruit. It's not really fruit at all.

There is no safe dose of lead. Ideally, I wouldn't want to spread any lead during my run-ups.

Yes, but I was commenting about the idea of a "carbon tax" on aviation fuel.

Now a lead tax might be something to think about if the non-leaded fuel costs more for some reason, lead being more of a concern than carbon in this instance. Tax the lead to make it the more expensive option.
