The lead (actually tetraethyllead) in fuel didn't get replaced, just not 
added anymore.
Well, partly, as lead was used for two purposes, as valve wear protection 
and as antiknock agent.
For the latter purpose alternative additives are used (but I don't think it 
is "benzene", whatever that may be in English)

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetraethyllead for details.

Whether there is an NG for discussing this I have no idea.
