H2SO4.
Funny how I haven't needed that formula in about 10 years and yet there it pops into my head. At least I don't have to titrate anything these days.
One of my first science projects was on the effect of acid rain on annelids, I'd guess about 1982, it wasn't very good, but we all start somewhere. One lesson I learned there but didn't really grasp until I was much older is that running a scientific experiment is actually boring.
Now I'm not current on this subject, but last time I looked there were like 40 different EPA approved gasolines for various parts of the country. My thoughts were far fewer would still produce the same effect while allowing for a broader base of supply.
