Hello,

Can anyone help me with my choice between a TDV8 or a V8 petrol?

Environment is important to me so a V8 on LPG is probably the best
choice.
But has anyone experience with a RR Sport on LPG?

Thank you,

Dino

Er, the environment is important to you? No, I don't think so as you
wouldn't be considering any sort of Range Rover if this was really the
case. If you want to have a Rangie it's probably better to admit up
front that you don't give a stuff about the environment.

True, it is not the best environmental choice to buy a RR. (on the
other hand how environmental is the Prius with al his batteries? How
many years do you drive with a Prius? How environmental are al the old
cars still driving around without any kind of catalyst?)
(Check out the "Dust to dust" research: http://cnwmr.com/nss-folder/automotiveenergy/
)

But I really like the RRS and if I buy one maybe I can buy the most
environmental version!
Of course we can start here a discussion of how environmental a RRS is
but this was not my question!

Dino737 Hi,

the TDV8 is a far less fuel thirsty engine and it develops better torque
figures than the V8 petrol one.
Petrol as a fuel is more complicated to produce and requires more quantity
of dino juice to be made.

On top of everything the TDV8 engine can be made to develop a far faster
vehicle (tuning the TDV8 is more easy and efficient than the petrol V8 one)

Take care
Pantelis

P.S. The TDV8 is a FLYER. Drive a tuned one and then drive a tuned V8.
This will answer your question and on top of everything will make you feel
more ecofriendly than driving a petrol gas-guzzler.

If the TDV8 can be converted to run on PPO (SVO) then that's doubly
cool. Though it might be wise to wait until the 3 years manufacturers
warranty has expired.

LPG is still a dino fuel. Diesel can be obtained from renewable sources.
Can the petrol V8 run on bio-sourced ethanol?

Not exactly, I have RR TDV8 and the engine is wonderful. Stronger than
expected and with a quite low fuel consumption. I get roughly 13,5l per
100km
