Fuel Type? UK 2007 RRS

Hi guys,
Sorry wasn't sure if this is classed as Maintenance or a technical question or a bit of both.

Which fuel 'should' you run the Range Rover Sport 4.2 V8 Supercharger on?

Does it need to be 98 octane +

As Col says 95 or 98 although I always try and use 98 in mine which is same engine as yours. 2016 RRS SVR Estoril Blue
2005 4.2L Supercharged Java Black - gone but was my first love.

If we all point our RR's in the same direction and accelerate at the same time can we turn back time?

As the saying goes, "if you have to ask the price..." Whistle Rolling with laughter 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Hi,

you can always use the Octane increasers as well to 95, most add about +2

Yes - doing 30k miles a year at the time I bought it, I definitely couldn't afford to run a petrol version! Rolling with laughter 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed
