The main environmental issue is the emission of lead, and this is equally dealt with by Total's UL91 and this new 100UL.

However 91UL was technically unable to universally replace 100LL (for lack of octane, making it unsuitable for most aerobatic and turbo-charged engines), and commercially unable to replace MoGas (far too expensive).
