started the post whoring at 6:15 this morning. Just remembered about this thread.

 

Hell...my rev-up VQ pings on 91 as it is. Lower oct would slowly be digging it's grave.
For ppl who say premium isnt necessary...read your Effin manual and look inside your gas door

whoring at 6am...you are a *****...

 

Yup, i take a brake on g35driver only on saturday sunday.

 

I don't I go on here all the time...But I guess that's going to change tho..Just started my new job...I'm not going to have time...Boo

 

Just my $0.02, but my experience has shown that I get better mpg using 93 octane from a real gas station (shell, bp, mobil, etc vs. those other resellers), so much so that the extra $/gal works out to be a wash. I have tried this experiment over the years with my & wife's last couple of cars, including SUVs, and the results held true.

And since all modern nissan/infiniti engines automatically adjust engine timing to avoid knocking, you get lower hp and mpg using regular gas and make the engine work harder vs. good premium. The shell near my place actually has a sticker that says "V-Power 93, is 100% gasoline, no ethanol".

Although....what is worse than regular is getting premium from gas station where the premium is so stale, since it has been in the sitting in the ground too long, that the hydrocarbons have separated. So don't go to the ghetto gas station, go to a neighborhood with a decent number of premium users.

 

I used premium exclusively on a recent road trip of 1500 miles, and didn't see any better gas mileage than when I've used 87 octane.

As for alcohol content, alcohol is high in octane, so probably isn't in the 87 stuff.

In Nebraska last week, the 89 octane was the 10% ethonal blend, and the cheapest. I don't know what ratio was used in the more expensive 87 and 91 octane.

 

Nice! im sure u are happy with yearly savings of $144.

 

93(or 91 if you don't have 93),Prevent Knocking. Stop being cheap a$$e$.
This should be already.

Wow, that's ONE example, you think every car I was thinking of in the $40k, $50k, $60k range has a lower compression rate than a G35? I only named the R/T to show an example of a car with sh!tty reliability. And I don't know how everyone is assuming I use 87 gas, when the fvck did I say that? Notice I said I KNOW people use regular gas, if I used it on my G for years, wouldn't I obviously put myself as the first example instead of people I know? I don't cut corners on my car, I use 91 octane full synthetic oil wash/wax my car on my own etc. I would do so even if I had a RSX. So you can stop crying about me using 87 now. And as far as the theoretical bull**** I said that because I don't know enough about cars to argue about it, which I said in the original post for those who can't read, not because I think it's untrue. Reading is key here, a lot of crying could have been avoided if you and a couple others read

 

i don't think there is a big different in the price between them

 

All I know is mine says premium only (see my pix ) and doesn't state recommended as I've seen on some other vehicles, in which you could use reg safely imho.
-unsubscibed...seee ya -

 

hmm, mine says "for optimal performance use 91 octane". nothing about it being required. usually i run 91, if gas prices are crazy, i'll run 89. don't notice much difference, but have to say it really wakes up once i get through about a quarter of a tank of 94, start to notice the timing advance.

 

It will also run on sake, but they don't reccomend it

 

I wonder if ALL the pumps go to the same underground tank. Maybe we should send some samples to a lab. Or switch to sake (diesel and urine)
