I found the detail of this article useful, but there is a major question waiting for some authoritative content here.
Buried in the Abnormal Consumption section narrative we have, "The addition of ... lead ... will suppress detonation extremely well ... tetraethyl lead (TEL), a soluble organolead compound added to gasoline, was common until it was discontinued for reasons of toxic pollution." I agree this needs citation, but more importantly, knocking was, presumably, a significant problem to which TEL was a successful solution that delivered economic benefit to some class of interested party over considerable time.
Now TEL has been removed, we don't seem to have reverted to having a problem with knocking. How so? Was there never really a problem to solve or have we found a modern solution that renders TEL unnecessary? If so it isn't discussed here. Atconsul ( talk) 16:28, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
