If i were to put midgrade gas instead of premium, will it cause my car to lag(lose performance)?

 

nike "just don't do it"

 

yea......

octane levels matter

 

IBTL

i'm gonna predict the replies on this one:

-"if you can't afford to pay for gas, maybe you shouldn't drive a Z"

-"it's only and extra $X.XX if you were to use supreme, why risk it"

 

Thanks guys, I was just wanted to see if anyone has put midgarde gasoline and noticed a difference.

 

can be done, will affect depending on things such as the outside temp, and the weight of your right foot.

car will retard timing to correct for knock as its seen.

 

this will get locked just like all the other threads. is it really worth two whole dollars for you to risk it?

sell your Z and buy a Camry

 

The engine will knock and you run the risk of blowing your engine. If that's the risk you want to take to save a few bucks at the pump than go for it.

 

I'll sell you my scion XB................

 

your car will blow up

 

Check your manual -- it's all covered in there.

you guys are retarded. i run midgrade gas alot. usually about 50/50 with premium. no difference performance that ive noticed. and your motor will not blow up. just dont try the 87****. that probly wouldnt be good.

 

that's funny because now we all think YOU'RE the retard

 

Noticed a difference?

There's a guy that just started a new thread complaining about engine trouble after filling up with midgrade gas.

 

Because a few dollars extra is a big hit, right?


Read up on compression ratios, detonation, and octane. Come back here after you read.

 

Who's gonna lock it!? wired is gone

 

save the extra $1.00per fill up and buy a condom, please!

 

It will be just fine, but have diminished performance.

 

MY Nissan owners manual says in the mountain states: AZ., NM, Co, Ut, Wy. NV, states we can run 85 0ctane gas, if nec. I chooses to run 91, there is less than $2.50 per tankful in price differrence. Why are you listening to people here when:
A. you could have done a search, we have this thread about every 3 months
B. read you owners manual

C.if you can't afford the gas, maybe you can't afford a Z
