Lead was out of gas for new cars starting in the '70s. It wasn’t actually banned in the US until 1996 (1990 in Canada). There were leaded and unleaded pumps all through the '80s.
I remember leaded and unleaded gas pumps in the 90s. We never used a leaded gas car, or maybe my parents did before I was born.
One other thing is the gas smell. There was a distinct odor of gas from older cars that I remember. Outside some places it was everywhere back in the day. But not anymore today. That is a good thing.
