Price difference between 89 and 91 (cali) is negligible anyway. Worth the couple extra bucks to do what's right for your car.
lol. is your friend colorblind? isn't the filler green for diesel?

ut oh ... lol.

ok i have a g37s. honestly i dont hammer it that often, just depends, but usually i'm more of a conservative driver.

anyways i have about 4000 miles on my car right now, and i only used the premium (93) for about the first 1000-1500 miles, and then started using the regular (89) because here its 40 cents cheaper than premium per gallon.

i can't really tell a difference in performance, but i have noticed that my mpg is showing about 2mpg less with the regular... so i should definately switch back to the premium for the good of the engine? is it just because of carbon build up? or does it actually effect the engine in another way? I don't really understand this...

do you think any damage has been done?

...and now he knows better, don't you Bill...?Cause you'd have to be a real jerk-off to screw up a fine piece of equipment to save $10-15/month...once you know better, I mean...but then again, Dads are always hopeful...
