^ I've seen a Sonata and Genesis sedan a few times in person and they look pretty damn nice.

Maybe Hyundai should do what Nissan does? Have another division to "trick" people into thinking they are buying Luxury.

Because a Nissan Fuga is ballin'. LMAO

I would cancel my cable before putting anything less than 93 in my G. Lets see here. Cable = around $200 a month. That is $24k a year. Then if you stop buying toilet paper and use paper towels instead (you can rinse and reuse them) then you could save a bundle.

COMON you put forth the effort to buy a nice car, take forth the effort to run it on what it wants, 93 octane! If you can not afford premium, get yourself a horse.

In that time I traveled about 125k miles between both of them. Averaged at best 20mpg. Thats 6,250 gallon of gas in 4 years just in the G35.

Just figuring gas at $3 a gallon I have spent $18,750 in gas driving to work and back for the last 4 years of G35 ownership. Thats buying 87 octane... figuring a safe bet of $0.15 a gallon more for 89 and another $0.15 a gallon to step up to 93.... that would had been $20,625 in fuel for 4 years... $2,000 more.... $500 more a year...

I feel the savings was worth it.

Maybe the V35? The V36 sedans have the "PREMIUM UNLEADED FUEL ONLY" sticker on the gas door. Although regular will work in a pinch, it still isn't recommended.

I believe you mean $2.4k or $2,400 a year

Yes, I was referring to the VQ35DE 5AT. Sorry!

The mileage from a boosted car is directly proportional to how heavy one's right foot is. If you are not on boost, your mileage will be the same as if you are N/A. It goes downhill fast if you are on boost a lot.

Just imagine if the G only required regular and gas price went up. What would these people do then?

Everyone should just be happy they live in the US (for the most part) where gas is relatively cheap on a global scale. In the UK the average price of gas is currently GBP1.30 per liter... which is $8.06 per gallon!

And I call stupid. I think I know how frequently I fill. As I said, not from empty, 900 kms per week is about normal for me. more or less depending, then add on occasional road trips and I typically do 50K kms per year, sometimes more.

Really their nice? From the side the designers took the old Acura TL and made it their own. Then the front and back just look plain retarded. Nissan didn't trick anyone. Infiniti is made by the same company but to a higher standard. Oh and do not forget the Genesis Sedan...Can we say Korea Ripped off German auto makers? I think we can....On top of that if you have ever sit in a Hyundai, the interior looks like it was made by Mattel Toy company. Except the last plastic car I got from Mattel was actually better quality plastic than hyundai uses. Gimme a break, Hyundai.....HAHAHA They also ripped of Honda by using their Honda Emblem.

Yes, but their whole country is smaller than my state. And they have state of the art public transportation. There isn't a place that doesn't have access to a bus (that come every 5 mins) or underground. That's London at least. Not sure about the other cities. Used to live there.

It has nothing to do with affording the premium fuel. Its a matter of a choice. I choose not to put Premium in the car. It ran fine with 87. Both of them did.

I only put Premium fuel in my Snowmobile, Dirt bikes, Motorcycles, Waverunners and other gasoline engine toys. Daily work transportation is not worth the extra to me. I would rather know that I am saving a few dollars with each fill up.

And if your paying $200 a month for cable... your either getting ripped off or you need to find a hobby and stop watching so much TV. Maybe try enrolling in some math classes so you cna figure out $200x12-$2,400 not $24,000.
