Welcome to the Science Mondays segment! Each week here on Geek Alabama, Science Mondays will feature stuff from the world of science and science related content. Our goal here at Geek Alabama is to hopefully have you learn something useful and fulfilling. Science is a geek’s best friend, and we love featuring science content here at Geek Alabama.

It’s a story about chemistry, engineering and regulation – many small aircraft owe their heritage to World War II and were designed for high octane fuels which require lead. Why has it taken so long to figure out an alternative, and why are we now facing potentially incompatible fuels in the coming decade.
