Gzilla tends to be a little full of himself, so take any claims with a grain of salt. This is the same guy who claimed his car was faster while running a GTR front bumper on his G.

With that supercharged beast of yours, it better be full of speed or I'd think something was wrong. Your long winded posts have a lot of useful information, but they also have a lot of wrong information and when someone calls you out your only reply is "my gzilla has 545 SC'ed HP, so I'm right!" And then start attacking screen names like that will make your case any stronger.


Com'on now man.


And keeping it literal, I was literally parked next to you all day at CPT.

That engine bay makes me drool, so I'd take your advice on good serpentine belts. However, thinking octane ratings are directly related to fuel additives or "cleanliness" of fuel is a headscratcher.

If you put 87 in your car, you are INDEED putting cheap, dirty 711, BS gas in it because you dont care. Yes there are quality gas stations with great 87 octane fuel. But if you run 87 you dont care where you get gas. Filling up at any Joe Blow gas station.
.
I don't understand why you equate someone putting 87 octane in the car as equal to going to the corner no-name gas station and getting gas. There are plenty of shady, dirty gas stations I wouldn't even get 93 octane from. Why does 87 octane = don't give a rats *** about your car? Aren't you judging people right there?

Does someone who use conventional oil vs synthetic oil also fall under the same guidelines as not being a true automotive "enthusiast" in your eyes?

Look, I posted my experience. Take it or leave it. But until you all go do some 10K mile research in MY sentra going up and down I95, then you can not discredit what I say.

Lost, I was giving you shizzil bro...I guess I should of wrote lol, you know me and my attitude, I don't think im better than anyone.

I just hate how there are so many experts in everything. I post only what I have honestly observed. To say im lying or saying im wrong is wrong. I will defend my weak 50-60 miles per tank difference all daum day. It happened. I was getting 350-360 a tank for months. The only change made was running 93. I now get over 400. That is the Gods honest strike me down to death truth.

What I meant by running 87, is that if you run 87 you don't care, not caring COULD leads you to buying cheap suspect gas, at suspect stations. Yes there are suspect places that have 93. But if you run 93 you are more likely to shop a creditable gas station. If you buy 87 you wouldn't mind COSCO gas. That is an opinion, assumption, and stereotype that I have about my experiences of people who put low grade octane fuel in their car.

that's all.

take or leave it. don't act like what I say is the Bible endorsed by Jesus himself. Show some tact, Listen to what I said, not attack the process or the theory. post up data about octanes and educate us, don't sit there like you invented 95 octane in your spare time.

I notice the difference in octanes in Gzilla. When I drive it 900 miles from DC to St. Louis (its actually 877 before some expert corrects me) If I stop at even a Shell with crappy gas, I can feel the difference. I know to run it out gently then add some better gas before romping on it. Its not as physically noticeable in my sentra, but the trip meter is set before I turn it on after each fill up.

it is what it is, we can argue about 50 miles a tank or ask the OP did he get the belts he needed.

Most of the tanker trucks that I see filling up Shell, Exxon, Hess, and my favorite WaWa have no brand names on them. They all fill up at the same NJ refinery along the New Jersey Turnpike.

Did we find new oil resources that aren't as clean as the others? Are there refineries that aren't producing product that are up to regulation? (Actually, I wouldn't doubt there actually are)

If anything, there is no such thing as dirty gas, it's just the additives they add suck, or most likely the owner was cheap with the additives when they filled the tanks. There are only a few sources of oil, and even fewer sources of gasoline that is distributed to all the gas station companies.

This may vary depending on the company, but whenever you see a tanker fill up a gas station, you don't see them moving gas out of different tanks into each of the underground tanks because all three grades of gas are the same gasoline, only the additives they add to each underground storage tank at the gas stations are different.

It takes a really cheap **** to mess up the gas to where it dirties the motor. Retards like that are a dime a dozen and can be at any cheap gas station.

Great last few post.
Wawa is like a 711.
There is one shell, besides one by hills, that if i run premiun my g35 acts up, idles off, hiccups. For giggles i ran 89, quarter tank, and car ran fine.

Its a shell but its on a corner of a busy intersection, sketchy.

Amacco in St. Louis has never failed me, but daum its more expensive than ExxonMobil.

Well of course it's this cutting edge gasoline that comes diluted with Wawa (water). That's why it's so cheap...!
