Don’t little planes use leaded fuel?

Piston planes do, turbine planes don't. Unfortunately for small single engine planes, piston is still a lot more common and quite a bit cheaper than turboprops, though just like with airliners before, turboprops is (very) slowly becoming the norm for general aviation as well.
