History of petrol in Spain
The first gasoline sold in Spain had no particular designation. This was to lead and 85 octane. In the 80's and with the evolution of the engines was increased to 91 octane, and in turn began to market a leaded gasoline higher octane, 97, who called the Super Petrol. Thus, the previous petrol gradually began to be called as Petrol Normal. Thus refueling offered for many years Petrol Normal Super 91 octane and 97 octane petrol.
In 1988 he began to mass marketing engines that run on unleaded petrol, which began marketing the so-called unleaded petrol 95 and unleaded 98. In mid and late 90 the use of unleaded petrol began to be significantly higher than that of leaded petrol (at the end of 1999 to 40% of all cars travelling on Spanish roads used leaded petrol), so that over the decade were withdrawing from the market Petrol Normal 91 with less demand at a time, leaving only the Super 97 as Petrol leaded gasoline.
When the European Union put the legislation on which they would withdraw all leaded gasoline market before January 2001, Spain granted him an extension given the number of vehicles that consume this kind of leaded fuel that still existed in national territory . From August 2001 began to phase out the Gasoline Super 97 lead, to finally, in January 2002, prohibit by law the marketing of any type of leaded gasoline. [1] In April 2001, gasoline consumption super accounted for 28.5% of total petrol.
Moreover, oil, offered a substitute for leaded petrol Super 97 that entered into its market while simultaneously withdrawing it. According to oil his name was different: Repsol YPF "New Super 97"; Cepsa, "New super", and BP, "BP Ecosúper 97 with replacement of lead". These new gasoline, slightly more expensive, included an additive based on potassium (K) which replaces the lead. [2] Even so, and despite being less polluting than lead, the government ordered their withdrawal by the end of 2005. [3] The fundamental aim was to withdraw the bulk of vehicles that consume too much and produce much pollution, due in large part by not owning a catalyst (only possible to use unleaded fuel engines). Also the high price of this alternative led to his retirement. In 2004, consumption of super petrol accounted for 12% of total petrol.
From 2006 on unleaded petrol stations there were only 95 and unleaded 98. Those who want to use engines that do not support unleaded petrol or substitutes, could acquire the replacement of potassium apart and mix it with gasoline, although it was recommended as far as possible in order to condition the engine used with unleaded gasoline, and provide a catalyst.
