No personal experience with a 4.8 or petrol as mine is a smoker but you will/can get better economy, more smoothness of power delivery and of course more POWER! give Jason a pm and he will tell you all you need to know ;)

And me please.......although it certainly doesn't need to go any faster :) Its like a giant sports / high performance car already, so I'd be interested to see what a remap does........I must say, Rangies I've passed have stood no chance so far (a few tried) and the acceleration is faster than my Audi S8. Towing heavy loads and carrying a full roof box haven't had massive impact on the fuel consumption so far, lowest I've had has been 20.9 - 21mpg. Best 23.9 mpg.
