As you fuel up at Houston pumps, it's important to know whether your Range Rover SUV can take regular gas. Premium gasoline is recommended but not required. That means you can indeed fill up your Range Rover SUV or another Range Rover model with regular gas. However, regular gas can cause issues and lead to lackluster performance. Learn more about premium gas vs. regular gas for your Range Rover model with insight from Land Rover Houston North.
Premium vs. Regular Gas: Which Option Is Right for My Range Rover?
The owner's manual in your Range Rover will recommend premium gasoline in order to attain peak performance and ensure engine longevity. Premium gasoline bolsters the high-performance engines under the hood of Range Rover models.
Octane Level Differences of Premium Gas & Regular Gas
Grades of gasoline are based on octane level. Regular gasoline has a lower octane rating, generally 87. Premium gas will have octane ratings of 91 or above.
Look for higher octane ratings at or above 91 when you are at Houston pumps refueling your Range Rover with premium gasoline.
