Definitely a case of RTFM...

Having said that, sh$t happens....drive it empty and refill with the good stuff. Not a big deal.

This

- and also read the manual before dumping it here and telling us how you couldnt street race. Note - improve your driving skills before adding another mod to your car. Street racing AINT the way to do it. No sympathy.

FUEL RECOMMENDATION

VQ37VHR engine

Use unleaded premium gasoline with an octane
rating of at least 91 AKI (Anti-Knock Index)
number (Research octane number 96).

If premium gasoline is not available, unleaded
regular gasoline with an octane rating of 87 AKI
number (Research octane number 91) may be
temporarily used, but only under the following
precautions:

. Have the fuel tank filled only partially with
unleaded regular gasoline, and fill up with
unleaded premium gasoline as soon as
possible.

. Avoid full throttle driving and abrupt acceleration.

However, for maximum vehicle performance,
the use of unleaded premium
gasoline is recommended.
