You should sell your 55 Mercury; it is very harmful to the environment.

First of all, the 1978 Lincoln Continental used unleaded fuel; leaded fuel was slowly declining by the late-1960s, and was completely gone by 1972, years before the 1978 Continental was even thought of.
Second of all, people lived fine with leaded fuel for decades; hell those generations were healthier than ours today. EPA CAFE standards had nothing to do with leaded fuel and its demise, being that CAFE was signed into law in 1975, three years after the ban on leaded gas. Your lead gas argument is thus void.
Third of all, the going green stuff is aimed only at the middle class, not the rich, who would never stand for a cut back in their exuberant lifestyles. The earth's resources are limited, and the rich want to use more, so what do they do?, get the middle class to use less. I used to believe in all that going green stuff, until my bosses (who are all from the rich section of society) kept on laughing at me and eventually re-educated me on the sad truth of matters. It's all a hoax for the rich to benefit, and the government to be able to control what you drive.
Do yourself a favor, don't fall for all that environmentalist stuff. The more moderate stuff is alright, but a lot of them are radicals who are actually loaded with cash and have no love for the working class. The only way to truly save the planet would be to commit an unspeakable atrocity not fit for description on this site. And it's not something I would want any generation to go through.

So do you walk, ride a bike, take mass transit to work? Or drive a minimal distance to work? I wouldn't want to breathe closely with a modern day tailpipe.
You can can call an abatement team if you have a typical mid 70s home with lead paint. And then there are those that buy lead additives for their big block engines in cars and boats.
I thought the year of this model review uses unleaded gas. Nice car; we should get one.
