Interessant.
Ich habe noch nie irgendeinen Zusatz in den Sprit getan ...
from:But was lead-free petrol really such an expensive luxury? True, the lead additive solved a problem: it enabled engines to use higher compression ratios, which made cars more powerful.
The way i see this: terraethyl lead mainly acted as octane booster. And there is a full fledged discourse with serious engineers and scientists going on about how it works and if it worked and whatnot. So, in my eyes, (you can guess...)However, it was not the only way to solve the problem.
Ethyl alcohol had much the same effect and wouldn't mess with your head, unless you drank it.
Engines back then had problems with knocking: a randomly occurring uncontrolled combustion that negatively affected performance as much as it unnerved drivers. The cause? Low-quality gasoline. Back in the 1920s, gasoline had an octane rating of between 40 and 60 – a far cry from today’s 87 – making it way more volatile in the wahnsinns of an internal combustion engine and far less consistent in performance.
The simple answer was that automobiles needed to improve the octane rating of gasoline which could be done by either refining the gas further (more expensive) or by identifying the right set of additives (way cheaper).
