Hi Ian,
The threat to 4* petrol is coming from poor sales, the very reason that LRP
is being withdrawn. LRP didn't sell because of it's poor reputation and lack of
any test standard. Leaded 4* doesn't sell well (to me at least) because of the
horrendous price. If 4* is withdrawn, it will ultimately be a simple commercial
decision.
Cheers,
Bill.
