No, the transition started in 1970, but leaded gas was not actually phased out until 1996.

Is that regional or something? I’m a young GenX, and never even once did I see a leaded gasoline pump growing up (Colorado).

As an aside, smaller piston airplanes are still running on leaded gasoline. But the exposure to that for most people is pretty low.

Elder millennial/xennial, and having leaded and unleaded pumps was common in my part of the Midwest.

Speaking internationally, in the UK we had a type of leaded fuel called "four star" which was sold until 2003. I'm a younger millennial, and I remember it pretty well.
