From Avweb this morning:
Further, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has banned
lead from other fuels, and it could decide at some point to
ban 100LL as well.
I believe that the government has exempted aviation fuel from EPA
jurisdiction and given the FAA control over what fuel is and is not used in
aircraft. EPA can bitch and moan but cannot ban 100LL. However, the market
can decide that the business case for 100LL is not there and decide to stop
manufacturing it, and the FAA has no control over the market.
