Why must gasoline be considered unleaded if it is the norm?

540 views

If unleaded gasoline is the norm, why do we need to specify it at the gas station? I don’t think there’s even an option to buy leaded. Even if there was, why not have unleaded just be called gasoline and leaded be called leaded gasoline?

it used to contain lead, which was better for performance but had terrible health effects. Now they always specify “unleaded” kind of like how coke is always “coca-cola classic” even though no one remembers new coke any more
