We would have lost WWII without leaded gasoline. The bombers and fighters both required 100+ octane gasoline which was only achievable using massive quantities of tetra-ethyl lead in those days.

While having 100+ octane gasoline made more power possible, if they hadn't had it, engine manufacturers would still have built very effective engines.
