Do gts run any other way?

After switching to diesel, I've been getting an average of 54mpg, although I've also been hearing some strange sounds coming from the supercharger unit...

Which then lowers your gas mileage, so basically you saved nothing

Back when hurricaine Katrina hit down here in louisiana all we had was regular gas, which I had not choice to use for 3 months, but never had any problems, but as soon a premium came back I went back to it. there is a big difference in performance and gas milage between the 2 imo

My salesperson told me my 07 coupe wouldn't require premium gas, as his wife didn't put it in her car. Well Infiniti feels otherwise. I don't put many miles on my coupe so I put only premium in it. It doesn't cost that much more.

91 all the time, used 89 a couple of times not much difference, and 87 once, mpg decreases and performance...not worth it.

Except that, with my 04 sedan, i have not seen a difference in gas mileage between 87 and 91. I use 91 more often than 87 only because they "recommend" 91.

Driving speed and wind direction apparently trump any possible gas mileage difference on the sedans.
