Premium Gas
#17
thru my manual and it said nothing about how you drive or simple notion....just PREMIUM FUEL RECOMMENDED. Nissan built this car shouldn't we believe what they say or is that way to logical....

I'm not arguing that it says that. I'm arguing that unless you get your cylinder temperatures to silly temperatures, (ie hard driving), you will not get to the point whereby knock, or pre-detonation will occur, thus meaning it's a wasted investment. If you drive hard, that is another matter, but that is the chemical, and physical properties that define it's octane level. The g35 is a 'sporty' car, so people may well get their engine to that temperature, so maybe that's why it is needed. All I am saying is that if you cruise, rather than race everywhere, you don't need premium. By law there has to be a certain level of detergents present in all pump fuel. You are more likely to get issues with contaminated fuel, rather than the fuel itself, if that makes any sense.

That's what it boils down to, but the intellectual like to stir up meaningful conversations for logical reasons of discussion and perhaps even learning something. Telling people that they're cheap and to buy a Civic instead does not contribute and only shows immaturity.

Lower octane = more likely to pre-detonate and knock
You mentioned that the chances of pre-detonation are decreased if you don't drive hard but if you're gonna drive your car like a Prius, then sell your G and buy a fuccin Prius
and apparently YOU don't read
our cars have a clear reminder every time we fill up "PREMIUM UNLEADED FUEL ONLY"

Well, how can I possibly respond to that post? Jesus. Is this the best you can come up with? Did I say I drive like a granny? Nope? You haven't read a single word I have written. We really do have the intellectual elite in here don't we. It's amazing just how stupid some of you actually seem to want to come across. Incredible. If you can't cope with a simple conversation about octane, don't bother. You'll probably be better off in a thread about Paris Hilton, or whichever rapper has been shot most recently.
