This place has been discussed here at length before; prices ARE good, but
evidently the return policy stinks. Be SURE you know what you are
ordering, and don't ever plan on getting any money back -- you'll only get
a credit for a later order.

Even "Real-Lead" is a misnomer. Look at the label - it has no lead in it.
The lead component of leaded gasolines is tetraethyllead, Pb(CH2CH3)4, but
you won't find it in any of the over-the-counter places. There's a
chemical plant near Houston (Texas Alkyls) that still produces these type
of lead compounds, but *you* can't buy anything from them. They sell by
the tank-car full, anyway. (I used to buy from them when I worked for Dow
Chemical.) Even if you could buy it, you wouldn't want to --- the pure,
undiluted liquid spontaneously bursts into flame upon exposure to air. =8-o
