So, in order for the car to operate at peak performance it needs premium fuel. With gas prices skyrocketing (it's getting close to 3 bucks for premium here in SoCal), has anyone else considered using regular for this bad boy? What are your experiences? How much worse is the HP/mileage? I've read that the G35's engine doesn't live up to it's published MPG of 19/25 until after a few thousand miles anyways so I wonder what the harm would be in feeding it some regular occassionally if I'm not that interested in racing performance. Anyone have firsthand experience with this and can you confirm which type of fuel you've been using?
I know I'm gonna get blasted for this one so if you are so inclined, go right ahead and tell me how stupid it is to put regular fuel into this highly sophisticated piece of equipment, and that the incremental cost should not even be a factor, or why bother getting this car if you're not going to redline it -- but what I'd rather hear is, some real facts from someone who's tried it.
Let the onslaught begin...
