Take the money you are saving on not buying the right gas and save it up for
the engine you are going to have to replace. Hope you can save up $7,000
before you break the piston rings.

(which he pointed out in the manual) that regular gas (87 octane) was fine
for this vehicle. ( My 95 Maxima required premium).
This thing pings like crazy whenever you really put your foot into it.
Anyone have a similar situation? What can be done? I refuse to put premium
gas in it.

LOL you are too funny. 1st of all, if you read the manual it quite
clearly states that to get the best performance, use premium unleaded.
Now, maybe you don't want to get the best performance, right? You just
want it to run without pinging. Well, I don't know about you, but
flooring it IS trying to get the best performance. If you don't floor
it, 87 will run fine.

You've got to get your priorities in order. Refuse to put premium means
you also should refuse to floor it.

You are all full of crap.
There are plenty of high performance engines that run very well on 87
octane.
The dealer screwed you over and so did nissan.
Hope the engine blows while under warranty.
Screw Nissan.
