89 octane
 

I think i'm going to be filling my z up with cheap gas here in california, then using the money I saved up for a nice sanswich:ughdance:

You are free to do what you want, but if you spent $30K+ on a car, is an extra couple bucks per tank rally a big deal?

no man i want my sandwich

just wait til the car starts to lose power and starts to run like sh!t

Hopefully that sandwich can fix engine knock.

:icon17:

engine knock doesnt come from that....... i dont think so, does it??

Cheap gas? In Cali? :gtfo2: What kind of sammich? I likes de Italian Special :tiphat:

Just turn up the radio when the knock starts!

In my vettes/fbods they sure did.

yea, engine knock will come...... its a good beat too


i got that on my 6Baller, 20 yrs

Take it up Conejo Grade a few times to see hot it runs! To be honest your better off with premium!

Ouch, conejo grade sucks... I used to commute there to Camarillo. Thats hell.

The ecu will retard the ignition to avoid engine knock but performance will suffer.

It's all about italia deli in Agoura Hills.

Yes it dose your engine is trying to "re tune" itself for the lower octane but it can not. You are always suppose to use the gas that is recommended.

It can only do that so much than it will knock.

ever saw that commercial where some guy is driving a beat up car and with music blasting, everyone is looking at him while he's driving.then pulls into a parking spot, turns the music off and thonk-a-thonk-a-thonk-a-thonk-a-thonk..


LOL, thought the knock was a good beat

Spot on!



It's like feeding your own baby with cheap powdered milk rather than breast milk. :)

I'm going with 87 octane so I can get 2 sandwiches! I'm always too hungry, 1 sandwich is not enough.:yum:

If you can't afford premium gas like it's recommended, you should of got a prius!

filet-o fish sandwich goes for a buck, no?

spends approx 30,000 on the car and wants to skimp on the gas price=idiot.

89!? damn ballaaa i mix water and rubbing alcohol in mine. you should see the kinda meals i eat. sammiches are for broke jokes.

When I first got my '04.5 Touring Coupe, out of sheer hard-headedness, I tried 89-octane gas for about 2 months; there was no knocking/pinging/dieseling. BUT--there's that "but" again!--I read an article in Car and Driver, where they stated that, even though the car may not knock/ping/diesel, carbon formation in the valves and the combustion chamber would ensue in just a matter of weeks! So, this hard-headed Puertorrican switched right back to 93-octane nourishment for my Zed! "He who has ears to hear..."

says the guy in a mazda

hey darkseed, we're just ribbing you man, you can run lower octane in a pinch, but performance will suffer like others have mentioned, premium is what nissan recommends, but it's your car..:tiphat:

yes, engine knock will come from gas that does not supply enough flash. I WILL ONLY USE PREMIUM. It's a $40k car w/ 11:1 compression!!

yep

i'm totally messin with u guys too. anybody that takes this thread seriously can :gtfo2: !
