93 Super gas from sheetz
yeah i live and travel in 4 southeastern states....our 93 generally costs 40 cents more a gallon. Especially if you use shell or bp (which used to be amoco with that "white" highest octane gas - that back in the day my grandfather said he much preferred) or chevron. (chevron by the way has nearly disappeared in the areas i travel in) i mention my grandfather because he was a brilliant engineer/mathematician who truly was a genius ergo i think there may have been something special about the amoco/american (standard of indiana i believe?) "hi test"
having said all of that...i have used premium in my 2008 g35 for 143k of the 193k of its life. I strongly suspect the one previous owner did too since i have all of his service records including gas purchases!! (dollar amounts and gallons) prior to my owning it. I get 29 mpg when i do 65mph on the highway. I get 25 when i do 77mph on the highway to this day...around town i get 18 or when i "play" around 15...
Since the owners manual said for me to use premium i did not question it. And i usually question everything and everyone...but again my grandfather told me that certain engines required certain levels of combustion integrity to perform at design efficiencies. He said it - i believed it - that settled it. Although he has been gone from here 50 years - i never forgot things he taught me. All have turned out to be true and have helped me immeasurably in life...so i am not upset that my fill ups cost me on average 7 to 8 dollars more. And for me that is a lot due to the fact i put a lot more miles on my g than nearly everyone on this forum...i don't worry about what others say about anything i do anyway...never have....i try very hard to use common sense when i can (although that is a strain for me do to my brain's orientation!) and it is logical (to me) that i use the best gas i can purchase, the best lubricants and fluids i can purchase, the best parts for my intended use i can purchase, the best cleaners and polishes i can purchase for my g. Go back and read my other posts if you are curious as to how well this car has held up for me and my family. Put me in the crowd who uses premium exclusively...

Cool story, bro. When someone tells you a boring story that really needn't be shared. Sarcastically replied.
Fred: "Yesterday I got a cut, so I put a band-aid on it."

Thank you Texas...I actually had looked it up and realized what it meant. I was hoping he would be man enough to refute the statement in a gentlemanly manner...I honestly did not know there were punk kids on this site. They are everywhere in America today it seems. A LARGE part of the country's basic problem... Hope the boy never gets around to my neck of the woods and smarts off like that...He most likely will learn a hard lesson..however i do feel a little sympathy for those with the propensity for knee jerk debased sarcasm..it usually indicates a need to assert superiority due to intellectual inferiority...a trait found a lot with inbreeds... Maybe that is his problem...Of course i have no way of knowing. My sympathies to him. Hope he grows up soon...

or hanging out with your butt buddie (joe daddy)...please do come to my neck of the woods punk boy PLEASE...i will teach you manners your dad (if you knew who he was) should have taught you...
1. I live in a city.
2. I dont believe in fighting, that is for poor stupid people.
That would bee your life motto, as the full saying is "She stoops to conquer" and it comes from a play about a woman trying to get a man. Is that what is going on here? Are you pretending to be a backwoods retard to get attention from me? Something tells me you are not actually pretending though.
