Ok, fuel is 6 lbs/gallon, and the quote says there is 6 lbs of lead in
a
gallon...what????

Ahh, grasshopper, read it very carefully, again. There is great truth
in
the details, and relationships of the part, and the whole. g

Ok, I suppose it can be read that way also...

"When 100/130 was the standard, the mix limit was four grams of lead per
gallon, but in reality the actual blends were
around 2.7, for the same reasons. (There are about 6.0 pounds, or about
2,721 grams in a gallon of 100LL, so the lead is
less than 0.0735%, by weight.)"

I don't think I have never heard of weight being 'in' something, a better
read would be something like a gallon weighs 6
lbs, or about 2,721 grams, so...

(Sigh)

Would an English Lit teacher be able to break down the lead content ratios?
