Mike,  Thought that might be the case since from 1 January 1996, the Clean Air Act banned the sale of leaded fuel for use in on-road vehicles.  However, it can believe it still can be used for some other purposes, including farm equipment.  As big a state as Nebraska is on ethanol, I think most gas stations carry nonethanol gas too, usually about a 10 cents per gallon more.
