I was under the impression that 2002 was a target date for phasing out 100LL, but not one set in concrete. There's a lot of research going on at the moment that has resulted in 82UL fuel which is, I believe, in production in Sweden at the moment. This is fine for all of us at the lower end of the horsepower spectrum but useless for the sophisticated high horsepower engines like those in the Malibu etc. But as far as I've been informed both at where I work and my flying base there isn't going to be a cessation of supply next year.
