Actually, that's not quite true.  The government was indirectly involved, but 
the car companies worked with the oil companies to lower the zinc levels.  
The car companies were trying to keep the zinc from destroying the catalytic 
converters so they could meet the 100,000 mile warranty requirements from the 
government.  Or so I've been told.
