Should I fill up my loaner with 87?

So I have a loaner (2011 G37 Sedan) for a bit & I have to drive quite a bit & with gas at $4.19 for premium I don't really want to spend that much on gas :/ I fill my car up with 91 all the time I don't mind doing it on my car but the dealership can call me any day and say my cars ready & I could have 1/2 a tank or more of gas left.
So easy question CAN I FILL UP A G37 WITH 87oct GAS?

People beat the **** out of loaners, since it isn't their car anyway. Just sayin.

I guess if you want to compromise, put 89.

Or go to an Arco and put in 91. Arco's always a ton cheaper

What you do is have enough gas in it to make ur rounds and wait for your call. You should also read ur loaner paperwork since I'm pretty sure it says to return the car with the same amount of gas you received it with, if not get ready to pay the dealership price for gas which I promise is way more than any gas in your area.

BTW way to treat a G37 like sheit j/k

fill it with 89 or 91, if you really don't have the cash right now then it's not like 87 will hurt it in the least bit, it will only retard performance.

Dont be a cheap b*tch. You wouldnt want someone else doing it to your car. Why do it to a car someone else will be buying in the future.

all the loaners i have gotten require to return with the same amount of gas that was in it before. you would be putting that same amount in your G if you were driving it anyway, so its kinda a wash

Lol just put 89 for compromise but I never put anything lower. A Benefit though is to make friends with the person who gives you your loaner. So they mark down that it has less gas than truly has. He does it for me everytime and saves me a ton on gas :-P
