ay, what kinda gas y'all put in ur car

TheBoyRo

I got me a 04 maxima (i know it aint a big boss car like some of y'all rides are, but i like it) but i put in premium gas and this shit run great, i use to put in the mid grade gas but the premium gas is so much better and the MPG is better on premium gas, manual also said to put premium gas, but what gas y'all put in ur ride?

The 04 max recommends 91 octane, that's why you see better mpg when using it.
High compression engines designed to run on high octane just run better make more power on good name brand fuel.
I run 91 octane in my 1995 Legend for the same reasons, it requires premium. I can run reg/mid but I get 3-4 MPG less. So its best to stick to it.

93

As said I run what the manual recommends. Mine calls for 91 but most of the stations around here have 87, 89, and 93 so i use 93. Only know of a couple stations that have 91 around here.

Kills me when people who have cars that call for regular run premium. I had a Mustang GT as my last car and it ran on 87, i always got asked why I'm not using premium. That car rans the same no matter what grade I put in it so why spend extra when its not needed? If your car is modified though thats a different story.

@wilberdmillz I read somewhere that you could use half & half, in your case half 93 and half 89. But I don't see where using all 93 will hurt. But I would always use what the manual recommends too. If you can't find it exactly, I would do what you have been doing and go above. I understand you should NEVER go lower, (heard it's hell on your engine in the long run).

89, my car doesn't ask for anything higher.

MrSoutCity

I use 87 in all three of my cars, I haven't seen the difference when using 93 except for the higher price.

Yep, I hope the people saying they use regular have a car that calls for regular or they're just asking for trouble.

put whatever the manufacturer recommends

lower rated than necessary gasoline will eventually cause sluggishness and knocking

higher rated causes too thin of an air/fuel ratio that eventually leads EGR deposits, greyed spark plugs, etc..........

So ILL

Regular Unleaded
