Answer to Question 1

The reverse is true. At high light levels, C4 plants are more efficient. Also, they are
more efficient users of water (corn Zea mays, for example, is a C4 plant). Efforts are
under way to increase plant efficiency from multiple approaches for both types of plant, but
especially for C3 food crops.

Answer to Question 2

The reduction and then, finally, elimination of tetraethyl lead from gasoline (it
increased octane number cheaply) is the likely cause of the observed reduction in the
amount of lead deposition.
