Havent burned through my first tank of gas yet but based on the amount of time the pedal is on the floor it wont be much longer. Ive read through the manual a bit but i was curious which octane type i should fill my g up with.

 

Only premium, it will prevent knocking and give you the best performance.

 

When you open your gas lid, it should say premium fuel only. I only put 93 on mine

 

I believe it's a minimum of 91, that's all I've ever used although some stations around here only carry 90

 

one of the big "selling points" I got when I bought the car was the lack of a need to put premium in... they said I could use the normal, cheap gas...

 

I've only used 93 so far, but Telcoman has a strong and supported study on 87 being just as good...toss up...

 

This has been hashed out, the car might not detonate on 87 octane, but that doesn't make it "as good".

The car has anti knock sensing and will throttle itself back to prevent knocking. The high compression in the g37 requires premium fuel. Yes, you can probably get by with non premium fuel. Most high revving high compression motors require premium fuel. You bought a premium car, the potential negative aspects of running an inferior fuel vastly outweigh any benefits you might get over the lifetime of the car.

 

Thanks for the insight... I think the sales guys just told me that cuz they saw me rolling up in my BMW...

 

Alright i will put as premium of gas i can find. Ill be driving my beauty for a very long time and want her to last

 

You bought a sports car so you need to pay like a sport. Maintenance, gas, parts, ect.

If you have leased the car and will be returning it, just use regular or mid-grade. That's what everyone I work with does who leases a Maxima (I work at a Nissan dealer). Premium is recommended, not required.

If you own your G, like I do, I would never, never put anything in it but the highest quality (Mobil for my area) and highest octane available, but not racing fuel if they sell it in your area (like they do in mine). It is better for the engine and every time you are filling up, if you compare to regular or even mid-grade you are only saving a few dollars. Spending a few extra dollars at every fill up can help the life of your car and consider it preventive maintenance.

Just my .02
