It's like when you want to relax after work, and instead of having 1 beer with your girlfriend on a patio, you chug a 40oz of Everclear and strap yourself to the wing of an F-22 Raptor about to take off.

yea its pretty bad for the engine... stop being so cheap lol
my buddy bought an RX-7 imported straight from japan. That thing takes 103 octane racing fuel... i mean we dont even have 103 octane in canada... 94 is the highest it goes here even with octane boost thats still not enough.

It's mandatory for g35 coupes to run on at least 91 octane as it says in the manual, so best recommended to avoid filling up on regulars

VQ35DE has high displacement which calls for premium.

^Correction, high "compression" is what you're looking for. Displacement has nothing to do with using premium gas.

Btw, you friend is a fucktard poser.

oh yeah if you don't use premium gas it will contaminate your engine really badly.

wanna see the proof? just loosen up the hose and open up the throttle body, and check if you see any carbon in there, or put finger in there and see if you get any carbon on your finger. Takes only 5 minutes to check.
If the carbon is dry thin layer, well it's not too bad but if it's wet or almost like a paint, then it's bad. Your buddy will need to take it to the shop and get a fuel system cleaning done.

I found I burn through more gas with the higher the octane. I thought this is why cars converted to E85 get such bad mileage.

Nigga, please.

Wiki that shit before you talk and wonder:

Quote:
One complication is that use of gasoline in an engine with a high enough compression ratio to use E85 efficiently would likely result in catastrophic failure due to engine detonation, as the octane rating of gasoline is not high enough to withstand the greater compression ratios in use in an engine specifically designed to run on E85. Use of E85 in an engine designed specifically for gasoline would result in a loss of the potential efficiency that it is possible to gain with this fuel. Using E85 in a gasoline engine has the drawback of achieving lower fuel economy as more fuel is needed per unit air (stoichiometric fuel ratio) to run the engine in comparison with gasoline. E85 also has a lower heating value (units of energy per unit mass) than gasoline leading to a reduction in power output in a gasoline engine.

I think G35, like many other newer cars, have some kind of sensory to retard detonation if it senses a knock. Will that be enough to compensate for the lower octane? I mean performace is gonna suffer, that's a given, but will it still be able to run properly on 87?

The G35 can run 87 if necessary, although it is not recommended.

Performance will be greatly reduced though.

edit: ah u beat me to it. ^

The manual in the G35 recommends 91+ but does not require it.

Hope that helps.

I don't think, however, that daily driving performance will be greatly reduced. I think you will notice a difference but not by a great significance.

There are many cheap people who buy expensive cars(supposed to fill 92 octane gas), but they put in 87 octane gas instead of 92 octane gas. Sigh..., Likewise, the cheap fellows try their best to buy the lowest model of BMW or Mercedes Benz, but they don't buy the top models of Japanese or America cars (they are the way more better in terms of performance and appearance). Believe me, there are a alot of materialistic people (female:male, 6:4).

Thanks
