The government has determined that three octane grades of unleaded petrol (ULP) will be permitted in South Africa (in both the coastal and inland regions) after 1 January 2006, namely 91, 93 and 95 Research Octane Number (RON). Market demand will determine which of these grades will be available in the different parts of the country. Motorists should not expect to find all octane grades available in all locations, but can expect to find a grade suitable for their particular vehicle wherever they may go in South Africa. In addition 2 octane grades of lead replacement petrol (LRP) will be permissible, a 95 octane grade at the coast and 93 octane grade inland.
