We all use unleaded gas in our cars and I heard that alot of countries have banned leaded gas. Is US one of them, and if not, where you would even buy such a thing?

You can Buy 110 Octane Leaded Gasoline in Auburn, Indiana. It's at a normal Gas Station (cant remember brand name) near the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum. I've ran it once in my GTI, and a technician at work has also ran it in his old GTI. both of us thought the fumes smelled a bit like french fries XD. my tank was half 93, half 110 octane, and i ran my 100 octane Tune. i could feel a bit of an increase in power. not nearly enough to justify the $7+/gallon it cost.
Just out of curiosity, why do ask?
1 January 1996, the Clean Air Act banned the sale of leaded fuel for use in on-road vehicles. Possession and use of leaded gasoline in a regular on-road vehicle now carries a maximum $10,000 fine in the US. However, fuel containing lead may continue to be sold for off-road uses, including aircraft, racing cars, farm equipment, and marine engines.
