I Run mine on BP's 93 grade...nice low idle of 550 with A/C off, very smooth!

 

I believe that the Maxima "requires" premium. That is all I put in my car. 93 all the time

 

94 octane...idles at 700

 

can't find anything higher than 91 octane...not bad...not great

 

maxima needs at least 91. in cali they only have 91 in regular gas station... so not much option.

ran 50/50 local and hwy with 325mi/tank

 

I don't ever get anything less than 93. 94 is probably a waste of money though.. the only place that has it is sunoco and they charge like 10 cents more a gallon for it, so I don't bother

 

91 is the highest we have here. So thats what I use. 1.70 aint bad compared to you cali people :P

 

93...we don't have 91 here, it goes from 89 to 93...

 

I run 93 unless I'm so low that I can't get to a station with 93 and if that's the case I will put in $5 of 92. I try to stick with Amoco or Sunoco but often end up at Citgo, Speedway or Shell. Sunoco used to have 94 and it was only a penny or 2 more than 93 was but they stopped carrying it for some odd reason. I'd always try to use 94 when heading to the track just incase, to prevent any retardedness... knock retard at the track I mean.

 

Sunoco carries 87, 89, 92, 94 up here in Ontario, Canada. I also noticed that 93 was the best I could find on a journey from NY to FL.

 

93 octane at a local grocery store, H.E.B., here in Texas for $1.43 plus the Nos Racing Octane Booster once a month just for fun...

 

91 octane......on Base its like $1.30 (San Antonio)

 

93 Octane - 1.83/gallon

 

93 octane $1.45 gallon

 

93 octane $1.67.9/gal is the lowest I can get in NY/MA.

 

94

 

92-93 whatever I can find

They have Cam2 at a sunoco here, thats 100+ octane, but it's like $3-4/gal.
I may run a couple gallons sometime to see if it's anything special or not

you feel any difference with that octane boost?

 

I try my hardess to find 85 octane as much as possible.

 

107 av gas.....




j/k 93 octane @ 1.59 per gallon

No, you won't.

All Octane does is prevent detonation (fuel exploding from the pressure and heat in the cylinder before the spark plug fires). Higher octane ratings allow you to make adjustments that would otherwise cause knock. The Max engine will advance the timing if it is given premium (91 octane) fuel resulting in better power and fuel efficiency. If you run less than 91 the engine has to retard timing to prevent knock. So running anything greater than the recommended octane level (which is usually a conservative estimate anyway) is a waste of money.

Although...I *only* run Sunoco Ultra 94. Yes, I'm wasting my money, bu that's fine...the max is worth a couple extra bucks. Judging by the pictures and info on Motorvate though, there may be slightly different detergents or whatever in premium fuels...so I run 94 just to be as safe as I can.

 

$2.13 for 91 Cali

 

$1.99 for Mobil 93 in Chicago, but I fillup in Wood Dale for $1.78 Mobil 93 every Saturday

 

Requires 91 or higher .
I use 93 octane $1.87 in the NY brubs

 

I use 93 octane and can buy it for $1.54 in Jersey.. we only have 87, 89, and 93 available in most our stations so 93 is my only choice

 

93 the next lower where i live is 89 and i dont like it, when i feel like splurging i may use 94

 

The highest here in town is 92 at $1.60 a gallon. Whenever I get the chance, I'll put in 93.

93 here so the max requires 91 oct.?

 

The difference in cost per tank, about $3.20 between the cheapest and the most expensive where I live, is not worth the savings.

When I switched to 93 after running 89 for a few years the ECU seemed to take a few tanks to adjust to the higher octane. After it did the car started and ran better all around and gained about 2 to 3 MPG.

Sunoco Ultra 94 is all that goes in my car...in case of an emergency ill

settle for Mobil 93...If you put the best your car will thank

you...listen close and youll hear...

 

Chevron 93 octane in Atlanta is 1.529. Thats all that goes in my MAX!!

 

this post and the tornado mod in your sig is a joke...right

 

93 when available, no less than 91. I only get gas from reputable places too, no Bob And Harry's Fill'm'Up. Just got 25 MPG with about 65/36 highway/city.

 

93 octane here

 

Amoco Ultra 93 Octane right here.

 

yea rub it in my face, 91 one is the best we can get and costs 2.59 by my house

 

93 from shell...

it's like $2.10 a gallon now... up from about $1.89 a couple months ago. going broke.

 

Poor 16 yr old runs...87

But I just got a job, so when the cash starts rolling in...I might bump it up...but it's like 20 cents more for 91 then 87...not feeling it. I probably need a new knock sensor too but don't really feel like checking codes...man that sounds bad.

 

Sunoco ultra 94

 

My first and second fills were Chevron 92 and Petro 92 respectively.

After that, Chevron 94 all the way.
