Gas, which one?

mrfulk · 03-11-2020, 06:27 PM

My question is around which gas grade to use: 87, 89 or 93. 90% of my driving will be back and forth to work, 60 MPH for about 40 minutes one way. Due to the differences in cost on gas grades, what our your thoughts about me running 87 or 89 for my driving habit? I gassed up the other day and out of habit I put 87 in. I am not hearing and enginee noises. [2020, 370Z Sport Touring]

Shell premium without methanol.

Nissan recommends premium for a reason. If you can't afford premium gas, you can't afford the car. If you can afford premium gas, why risk using regular?

Dude, go for it! I've used all grades for years and haven't noticed one thing. You can let the grade bullies influence you, or just do what you want. In my case, grades don't matter at all. 87 if I feel like it, the rest can go to hell.

Really 87! Read the Wikipedia about fuel grades..guess your not concerned with pre-ignition and engine knock!
