Question Octaine ?

I`m picking up my new G35 MT6 today and I don`t know what octaine gasoline to use. I never owned a foreign car before so I don`t know if they run good on regular gas or if it is even supposed to run on regular gas. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You can run 87 octane if you absolutely have to but I don't. 93 for me. The difference is about $.17 per gallon. Not enough to make a real difference.

There's a sticker on your gas lid that says premium only. 93 if available.

93 octane isn't available in every state. The manual (and dealer) for my '05 says to use 91 octane.

Good Idea: Read the manual! Or, the gas cap also
tell you to fill with premium only. I guess you have
your answer.

The manual says 91 min because in some states like CA that's all you can get, with few exceptions.
