Hi Craig, LRP is made from premium unleaded (95 RON) with a valve saver added, regular unleaded is only 91 RON that's why LRP is more expensive. BP Ultimate and Shell Optimax are 98 RON. More info can be found at oil companies' web sites. I think some oil companies have a hotline you can phone to find out if your car will run on unleaded fuel. John Hudson Brisbane AU.
