From what date will there no longer be lead in petrol in South Africa?
Unleaded petrol was first introduced into the South African market in 1996. Since that date, the use of unleaded petrol has gradually increased and now accounts for approximately 40% of total petrol sales in South Africa. As from 1 January 2006, lead will no longer be added to petrol in the production process and leaded petrol will no longer be marketed by the oil companies.
