Switching Gas??
Hey guys I have been stalking the forum for a while now. Getting all of the research possible before i get a Z.
Anyways my question is: Is it possible to change the type of gas the Z uses?
I know it says to use supreme gas but someone said it is possible to go to an auto shop and run some computer on the car to make it possible to run on regular gas. I thought it couldnt be true but I thought I would bring it to you guys to get the real answer.

It's an expensive car, if you can afford the car, you can so afford the extra $0.20 for each gallon.

Agreed, the benefits outweigh the costs, putting higher quality fuel gives you more performance, more economy whilst being cleaner and purer. The differance on a full tank is only a few bucks.

Oh no... Somehow, I know that this thread is going to turn into "Someone told me you can make the Z run on hydrogen!" I remember that undying thread from Zdriver.

I have an interesting question pretaining to this. It's not something dumb. Just something to wonder. Obviously it says the Z should run on 91 octane. By me I rarly find 91 so I need to use 93.. Now it wouldnt be smart running on 89?? Or would I be ok running 89?? Also.. If say that isn't what I should use and never go under 91.. If I'm filling with 93 and say I run accross a gas station that has 91.. Am I able to mix the 2?? Or if I'm using 93 should I firmly stick with it??
