I always fill up with Premium 93, car runs strong and smooth and I average 24 mpg on the highway with a 2 hour commute each way, speed goes between 65 and 90mph with a majority of those miles driven at about 75/80, with the Lukoil gas I can see 26-27 mpg, I really need to do a straight 10 tanks on each to see if it's just my driving during the day that is making my mileage fluctuate like that.
I have a heavy foot and the couple time 87 was put in, my gas evaporates:wiggle
I also have a friend and his parents both drive 5.5 gen Maximas, his mom only fills it up with regular, she will not for the life of her use synthetic or premium gas and her engine is slightly louder and she fills up 3 times a week, his Dad only uses Premium and synthetic oil, he fills up once a week and they have the same driving styles, both cars are well kept but the mothers car seems sluggish especially during the summer heat

^ I have that sticker too
I just used a tank of 89 and did some good driving with it so I have a good feel of what 89 is, and today I just put in a half tank (i was on E w/ the light for a good amount of time) of 93 octane, the butt dyno hasn't really sensed a difference yet, but we'll see with some more driving.

haha every brand of car forum has this thread...I've done 87 for over 8 years in my 4th gen. It's fine! It's not a question of how many pennies difference it is between 87/89/91/93. I use super in the other car (93) even though the manual specifies 91 "HIGHLY RECOMMENDED." The other car, however, cannot use 87 as 89 is the minimum.
The owners manual for every make/model will always state the minimum AKI or RON. For the Maxima it's 87.
