While he was PM when ULP was introduced, Leaded (Super) remained alongside for another decade. It was around 1994 that Shell was selling "half lead" and within a few more years (when Howard was in) lead levels dropped over time, and eventually leaded was phased out completely - LRP being one of the "options" they left in place for a little while, but it was eventually dropped by the early 2000s.
