opinions differ, there has been many threads on this ... for optimal performance yes (IMO)... will the car break down in 100k miles just because you used regular? no ....
I use it, but for me it only gets to be around 20 bucks a months and my car is worth it
... plus it keeps my TB is relativly clean (at least it was when I had my maxima at 130k miles)

if you put anything less than Premium, you will be losing performance as well as mileage..... You prob will not hear your engine knock due to sophicticated ecu's that prevent it from knocking/pinging.
Say if premium is 30 cents more(i'm being generous to account for 87 and 89) than other grades of gasoline times 20 gallons, you'll end up paying 6 dollars more at the most for premium, worth it? i think so

I've noticed no improvement in fuel economy in my 04 with Premium.
So, whether I use 91 or 87 (or 89) is just how i feel when I go to the station.
But I haven't gone under 87 even in the mountains, and I would use 91 if the car said Premium required.
On the other hand, I don't drive the car hard.

03 and 04 sednas were designed to used lower grade gasolines.... the manuals for 03/04 compared to 05+ recommends different grades
