2005 Range Rover Sport TDV6 SE Rimini Red

What fuel?

What fuel do you use in your very own Range Rover Sport?
How does it rate for price, performance and fuel economy?

All opinions welcome

Is it a legal requirement to wear racing overalls when filling up with BP Ultimate?

I dont have a RRS yet. However In the 5 series I always put Shell V-Power in their.
Believe it or not I've noticed a difference to the cheaper less octane petrol.
I also know BMW reccomends you put the higher octane fuels in the petrols (dont know about diesel never had one).
Mum always puts the V-Power in her weeny 3 series. Michael Potter

Just out of interest, has any person had an engine re-map in order to improve fuel economy? I just thought I'd ask as i would be using the vehicle as a normal day to day vehicle rather than as a high performance vehicle, for which many of the people on this forum seem to own a Range Rover Sport.

Thank you for your opinions.

2012 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Sumatra Black

Remap added 10% to my like-for-like economy, although the irresistible urge to floor-it soons cancels out that particular advantage. I always use the cheapest diesel with a large shot of Redex, especially after finding no appreciable benefit in performance or economy from the highly expensive BP Ultimate. However, that's in-town driving, perhaps motoway or rural is different?

Well; let me tell you. I don’t have my RRS yet, both I use the best fuel I can find. On my FLsport TD4 I use Shell V-power Diesel or similar from Repsol YPF Diesel E+10 with good results. In my Disco2 V8 at Mexico we only have 2 options: regular 87 or Premium 92 ; yes, believe it or not only 92 octants, no more: so… PREMIUM.
Can you imagine a RRS SC in Mexico with 92? so; TDV8 in Spain for me! is coming Yuri
