Yes indeed, even at a dilution of 14.8 grams per quart, though toxicity concerns are somewhat diminished, GREAT CARE should be taken in handling. I don't recall just what the TEL content was of premium leaded in the days of old, something in the range of 2 grams per gallon comes to mind. TEL was reduced in stages, as I recall the final versions of regular leaded were in the range of 0.2 grams per gallon.

Think of all the gas pump jockeys of the day (and I was one)! Perhaps that explains some of my personality traits.
