BlueMeanie, I am sorry but your wrong.............ONLY PREMIUM GAS IN MY G................I would take Nissans words over your words anyday.

 

This thread is like you either use what Nissan recommends or you're not taking proper care of your Infiniti G35....end of story!

Interesting article. I'll keep putting premium in the G35, but regular in the other cars.

 

p.s: if you drive your car once in a while and keep it parked for long periods, its better to pump premium for about quarter to half tank. If you pump a full of premium and drive the car once a week, by the time you used half your gas, the rest of the gas would've lost its premium advantage and would be like driving on regular gas. i dunno if this made sense but it is true...


so ya.. don't pump a full tank of premium unelss your going to be using it.... by letting premium gas sit for long periods.. your wasting your money

 

Only Premium for my G...I don't care what anyone says..

 

I only use Premium as well. if were keeping tally. I guess I like the piece of mind that it gives me in giving the 'best fuel" for my car if anything.

 

I switched to 87 for a couple of trips to the gas station, and as far as performance loss there is very little. On 91 I would inch away from my friends new G37 but he does the same to me when I run 87. However, running with 87 increased my MPG from 15 to 19+.

 

It's funny because you can't even explain why he's wrong. You just *believe* it to be true.

And it's "you're," as in a conjunction from you + are.

 

your car wont implode if you use 87. but, there is a performance benefit to using 91 and thats a fact. there's a 76 out here that sells 101 and i put some in the g one time i noticed a difference for sure. the higher the better, they dont just make higher octane gas to get more money out of you by fooling you with some meaningless number system. it allows the pcm to have more room with the timing, you wont hear the g' ping on 87 cuz the computer cuts the timing back so much that it wont ping. and, as a result there is a loss of performance. ive been using shell 91 since day one, and my g runs great!

 

This thread has run its course. At this point it's more a pissing competition than anything else. Either you paid $$$$$$$ like some of us did, and you're going to take car of your car. Or, you paid $.02 for the car, and that's how you're going to treat it. After all, it's your car and, who are we to judge how you spend your $$?

 

i dont care about performance and dont race people. i didnt see a difference between mpg premium and regular so i decided to stick with regular

good thing i LEASED my car and it's almost time to return the car =)

it's your car so do whatever you want with it kekekkeke

 

rofl.....god bless the poor soul who will end up buying your G.....

 

^Why?

That's not true either. I would sincerely doubt any performance gain from going to 101. I would even bet that your performance would suffer from 101, and that any effect you felt from using 101 was purely mental.

 

+1,000,000 on that.

 

why? because, the previous owner (which will be him to the new guy) is pumping regular on a car designed for premium (most likely the new owner will want to pump premium but not knowing the car has been driven on regular )

when you cheap out on an extra few cents for premium...because its a "lease" ... there are a lot of other things that the person is more likely to overlook as well... perhaps longer durations for oil changes... not repairing minor problems.. etc.

i would never buy a used leased car... everyone knows, when someone leases the car.. most likely they are not going to keep it and will treat it like crap.. when you own something for yourself.. you are more likely to take care of it.

hope that explains "WHY"
