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

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?

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.

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!!

Spot on!

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