All this means is no one is currently enforcing the law. Back when
unlead gas first came out and most cars ran on leaded gas, this law
was enforced. Nowadays so few cars run on leaded gas, that it the law
simply considers it a waste of resources to enforce this law. However
if someone were to brag too much about breaking this law, some law
officer may decide that it is good politics to make an example of this
person.
