Why "unleaded"?
Because there used to be leaded, and they never changed the labelling after leaded was banned.

Leaded petrol isn't quite banned and is still available in small quantities from specially licensed retailers for use in historic vehicles. I used to work with someone that had a car that needed it. It also had a leather strap connected to a lever and wrapped round the rear axle for a brake.

I know but the UK hasn't had leaded petrol on forecourts since 2000. Perhaps E10 or E5 petrol?

Why don't garage forecourt signs and pump just state petrol and diesel. Why "unleaded"?
