I cant tell if this is sarcastic or not... Ill assume its not.
The reason the government can tell us what kind of gas we can and cant use is because of what those other forms of gasoline do. Leaded gasoline spews lead out into the environment. Think about that for a second--its lead. Its poisonous. Spewing it out into the air in vast quantities isnt a good thing. When you get sick from it, when your dog dies from it, when your kid dies from it, maybe you will start to think about it. I suspect you would be raising all kind of stink if your nextdoor neighbor decided to go bury some radioactive material in his backyard. This is the same thing--your actions are affecting people other than yourself.
