FWIW...I run low octane(Mobile) in my 2012 LR4 105k on long trips...with no problems, power galore, runs perfect. Techron every 6months...oil change every 3K...17-22mpg...
I guess I'm the experiment...

Perhaps run the oil change interval to 6k (any good synthetic will easily handle that) and run higher octane with the money saved? She will make more power and run better.

I don't know how much better it can run...BTW I do use full synthetic oil...

Well for sure it isn't making full power on regular. 3k on full syn is also probably overkill but I understand lol.
My LR4 runs like a scare-d-cat on low octane...it's a beast...I polish the engine bay once a month...
