Gas pumps still say UNLEADED.  Lead has been gone so long, I'm surprised we still call regular gas UNLEADED.

The same reason we still call digital recording "Taping". LOL

Or the "No Smoking" sign lit up in planes which was banned back in the 90s.  :)

I was pondering that same thing, around here sometimes it is posted as Regular and other Unleaded.

Only recently realized some parts of the south call Premium "Supreme".  A coworker from Houston called it supreme and I didn't know what he was talking about.
