This is all very outdated, of course -the season ended months ago -and this link only shows the results for the final vote of the year. But when college football teams are in action, the results are posted each week.

With all the ink that is being given to the subject of gasoline, why is the adjective "unleaded" still being used to describe it? I can't remember when I last bought "leaded" gasoline. Is it still available in the U.S.?

___

No, it's not available anymore -not even in race cars or any type of gasoline engine. It was phased out in the '80s for environmental reasons.
