We're supposed to put gas in our cars? Maybe that explains why mine hasn't run since 3 days after I bought it.

in Switzerland the lowest Octane you can get is 95 octane..
Super 98
and V-Power 100

On my Z (350z 35th Anniverssary) on the Fuel-Cap is written:

"98 Octane only"

i would never ever go under 98
only bad thing is... Gas-Price is twice as much as in the US!

Liquid Nitrogen. That way, you don't need NOS... As long as you don't let it freeze your engine. Get an engine block heater.

You can afford to pay for the Z, insurance, oil changes but can't spring the extra $100 - $200 a year to pay for premium gas?!

$0.10 times 20 gallons filling once a week * 52 weeks = $104
if you drive a lot daily then twice that.

Does that change your mind about being so cheap? The bad thing is not that it costs $0.10 more a gallon it's that the stuff costs $3.00 a gallon. You are splitting hairs to save money and destroying your car.

INSTEAD OF USING YOUR OCTANE BOOSTER ON YOUR 87... USE IT ON THE 93

better yet, don't use it at all since it doesn't "boost" anything

I always wondered why people use octane booster when they only want to pump 87 octane. Doesn't it cost about the same or possibly more after each pump?

The gas station next to my apartment sells 100 octane but its almost $6 per gallon Once a month I fill her up with 100, keeps her clean. Normally use 93 though.
