Here in England our 'normal' fuel is 95octane - Nissan recommend 'super unleaded', which is 97 or 98octane.
I run my 350z with 98octane (super unleaded) - and tests in at least one car magazine have shown that 98octane increases the horsepower slightly and/or it's more economical than 95octane. Also, the owners' manual for the 350z warns you that you should only use 95octane if you really have to - is this the same for the 370z?
Personally, I wouldn't use anything but super unleaded and I assume it's the same for the 370z.
In addition, I assume that the ECU will adjust itself to account for different fuel types, as I believe it does in the 350z.
