Can I suggest you READ YOUR OWNERS MANUAL?

You wanna put cheap fuel in a high-performance sports car (why did you even buy it?) go right ahead

, just please don't post here in a few weeks telling us about your blown engine and how your dealer was a creep and didn't warranty an $8000 engine replacement. Sorry to be so harsh, but dude...what is it an extra $2 a tankful?

Octane rating tips
Using unleaded gasoline with an octane
rating lower than recommended above can
cause persistent, heavy spark knock.
(Spark knock is a metallic rapping noise.)
If severe, this can lead to engine damage.
If you detect a persistent heavy spark
knock even when using gasoline of the
stated octane rating, or if you hear steady
spark knock while holding a steady speed
on level roads, have a NISSAN dealer
correct the condition. Failure to correct
the condition is misuse of the vehicle, for
which NISSAN is not responsible.
