premium. its .10 extra/gal. I figure I might as well pay the extra dough. Its a decision that a car owner must take. (save a buck now and put your motor at risk, or don't.) In theory the ECU should be able to compensate if it senses knock, but you have to get knock for that to happen...and any knock is bad knock. So its a "why risk it" type of thing to me.

Use the recommended premium gasoline in your 10.6:1 high compression $28,000+ sports car.

350z is not a beater. Unless it's your beater, I'm sure you can just pump any fuel in.

Full synthetic 175 octane methane and liquid oxygen enriched moonshine.
You dont even need a turbo on the Z with this stuff, with just a turbonator, I put down 788whp on the dyno.

Not sure how much cleaning additive woud help if you were to put junk fuel in your tank.
oook. Now I know why my car was so damn fast, and shooting flames. Thanks for the info.

Our Z engines are tuned differently than G35s, M35s, and FX35s. On any of those three, you can fill the car up using 87, because their VQs are tuned slightly different than ours. I still would never suggest doing it - the Ford Tempo we had 10 years ago still got the 93 treatment. It's just safe practice.
