wait u guys dont use diesel

 

I always get premium, but here its almost always 91 (or 93 if your lucky). But I live up in the Mountains so the car can run a lower octane and not be harmed. Thats why us CO, NM, NV, UT, WY (and any other high state) folk run a lower octane.
And as proof I just got 28mpg driving from Boulder to Steamboat Springs and back on 91. And I dont drive "conservatively."

 

i live in cali so the highest i get is 91

 

I use nothing but CH3OH..... Well actually not. Just top octain (92)

 

$2.31 for 91 octane

 

Me: Mobil 93
My brother: 89

for my brother using 89 in a Max

 

I run mine with 91 octane. Mostly in Tx that what we have, just the plain ol' premium.

 

I run on Chevron 92 most of the time. Sometimes I'll put in 94 for the fun of it. 89.9 cents a litre for 94 so that works out to about $3.60 a gallon for you US guys.

 

can't find anything higher....

 

when i use 91 chevron i can only get 23 mpg,
then i switch to 89 76 gas and get 25 mpg..

 

93 all the time. $1.61 today.

 

93 octane only! The Max like caviar, not tuna

 

Sunoco 94 for the injectors and Pro Racing Mark 5, 115 Octane unleaded for the nitrous fuel cell.

 

93 all the way. Only when i was in Wyoming and some of the western states did i use 91 Octane.. thats because thats the highest they had

 

Anybody know about the ingredients in the octane boosters at autoparts stores? Do they really increase octane? If so, how much do they relistically make, how bout HP. Dyno Charts would be raw.

 

0 Horsepower.

 

Sunoco ultra 94!

 

True that B.....

Here in TN, we only have 87, 89, and 93.

With all the stop and go crap i do, i found that 93 gives me around 4 to 5 days extra over 89 when i comes to having to fill up again.


==============================================
the crack head had a crack pipe full of crack

 

Chevron and Sunoco gas seems to be a popular choice. Neither of which are available here. Texaco 91 octane is what I use.

 

96-98, depending on which BP or Mobil I end up going to. The bigger stations usually have 98, whereas the smaller ones have 96. All have 91, but the car feels sluggish, and seems to have a lower fuel economy then it does with 96 or 98.

 

yes maxima recommends 91, i put in BP 93 i do not know where to buy 91

 

Amoco 93. $2.10/gallon.

 

I run 93 octane from Citgo for 1.69 here in Md. Anywhere else is close to 2.00 a gallon.

 

Sunoco Ultra 94

The next step down is 89 Octane at Sunoco here in Kitchener, Ontario.

I have used Pioneer Magnum 93... which is apparently Ultra 94 bought from Sunoco (but they are not allowed to market it as 94).

 

I live in Chicago. We have 87, 89, and 93 so I always get 93. Some shell stations around the chicagoland area carry close to 100 octane...would it be safe to get that? I mean, after all, the manual says that My 99 SE-L can receive anything from 91 to 103 I think...so what do u think?

 

Which stations? How much?

Just paid $1.97/gal for Shell 93 in Wood Dale. Almost 30 bucks for a fillup 5% rebate! w00t!!!

 

I typically run 90 octane as there's a price bump for 92 or 93 in my region and I get no additional performance out of the higher octane,just wasting money. The gen 4 max has a compression ratio of 10:1, with aluminum heads and block, that dissipate detonation heat very effectively. When driving long distances,in mountain regions, with my Thule cargo box on top I run the highest octane gas that is available. The octane ratings for premium gas drops in high altitude regions (to around 89 maximum) ,as there is less available oxygen in the air,reducing combustion chamber volatility and less chance of detonation.

 

well used to be 91, but since they bend me over the pump i use the cheapest stuff, i know my baby hates it, but i make 6 bucks an hour... what you gonna do?

 

92 Octane from Sunoco.

 

Please, that's nothing, $5.40 right here...I'm a produce boy!

 

87 all the way baby

 

i use 93....i though 93 was recomended! it usually takes about USD 27 to fill the tank...

 

93 is the only one!!

 

A question i've been wondering, is there a huge difference of getting 93 octane gas from Mobil then getting 93 octane from Joe's Gas station? Joe's is obviously cheaper, but the octane is the same. What's the difference, besides the name of course..

 

I try to only keep about 10 gallons of 94 in the tank, with a bottle of octane boost all the time. I get better milage and better pickup. I tried 91 a few months back, and my Max ran horrible, and I got almost 3 less MPG. It definitely makes a difference/

 

Odd, it seems you guys up there don't have any petrol/gas with an octane higher then 94? Mind you, we don't have any that goes lower then 91. Does anyone know if octane ratings are measured differently from Country to Country?

 

is there a factory service web page or something that says this? i need to convince my parents to start paying for 91... right now im using regular in california (isnt that like 87 or something horrible?)

 

owners manual get a job n pay for the 91+ urself

 

showed him the manual, hes like "thats just a recomendation, im not paying for that" besides, i would pay for it, but its a looooot of money in california for 91 (2.49 by my house) and im jobless during the school year...they offered to pay

 

Premium is like 20 cents higher so if you put in 15 gallons, it's like 3 bucks more. You can't get 3 bucks for every 15 gallons???

My parents pay like $20-$25 each week for gas (I charge that much on the gas card they gave me) and then I fillup the rest with my allowance money. Last week I charged like $21 on the card and paid like $8 to fill up the rest of the tank. I need to cut down on unnecessary driving But it's so hard
