Older gasoline used to contain chemicals such as tetra-ethyl lead. This prevented preignition in the engine and allowed engines to be higher compression. They stopped using it because of heath and environmental issues. Different additives are used in todays car fuels instead. Leaded fuel can still be used in offroad equipment and airplanes.
