Best Answer

Exactly that, it is petrol that is 95 octane with NO LEAD hence the term UnLeaded.

Answer:

Unleaded petrol is what you have before you add the tetra-ethyl lead (or similar antiknock compound) to the base fuel. The TEL allows a cheaper and lower octane fuel mix to be made.

Petrol is combination of various hydrocarbon distillates from very small molecules like butane to very long chained molecules. These are mixed to provide proper combustion in an engine. The rating for this quality is known as the octane number. Leaded compounds, if added, boost the octane rating.
