They also apply to certain diesel fuel which can be used for both home heating and vehicles. In both cases, enforcement is not a very high priority task for the simple reason that the crime is too infrequent to be worth the effort and it is a lot of work to distinguish between legal use and illegal use. However that does not change the fact that the law exists and anyone who brags too much about it or does too much of it, may be prosecuted simply as a lesson to others. Anyone driving on the freeways know that the speed limit is not very strictly enforced and this is a law that the police are expected to actually enforce. So the original point that it is easy to get leaded gas does not mean that no laws were violated. Getting away with it is simply a case of being too small to be noticed.
