Sulpher Content in gasolines

[632 Regal]

Well if your in California or Canadia your OK...
I want to know what the averages are here in Michigan but havent found anything yet.

The world-leading California standard limits sulphur content to an average of 30 ppm. This standard must be met in Canada in 2005, under a regulation adopted by the Government of Canada in 1999. Imperial Oil and other oil companies still oppose early phase-in of this health-protection regulation.

Current legislation worldwide is forcing refiners to reduce gasoline sulfur to lower levels than ever before. In Europe, a maximum of 50 ppm is mandated by 2005, and further regulation is expected to demand sulfur free gasoline by 2011. In the USA, levels of 30 ppm will be required in 2006, with further reductions thereafter.

From what I heard, BP/Amoco is providing the lowest sulfur content gasoline (compared to the other vendors) in the NYC area.
Yeah, I still haven't seen any supporting document from BP/Amoco site.

Not to sound stupid...


But why does the sulphur content matter (other than Nikasil)?

But then who would catch the mice?

Sorry, don't know what came over me.

Seriously, where is the best place to find info about sulpher levels in the UK?

(I think my engine is nikasil)
