I keep reading that discount premium isn't as good as branded premium. At a basic level all fuel is fungible, but there is a touch of additives that Chevron/Texaco/Shell put in there to keep injectors clean and the like. Thoughts?

Got Gas...?

All I've used on any of my cars is Chevron premium. I used Chevron custom
supreme when that was availble....just a few years ago. (100 octane)
To keep everything clean I use Red Line Injector cleaner every 3K miles.

It’s amazing to me how many people don't read the original question, and just start posting various things.

This may be the deciding factor of them buying the FX.

What do you all put in your FX?

Anyway, Kuneff got his answer on the last page.

I notice a drop in performance right away I have the G35six speed manual. I put in 89 once and never again. 91 0r 92 all the way.

Thanks for looking out for the OP. It's good to know that you can still find a cop when you need one.
