Default Nissan Fraud. Regular gas - 08-02-2006 , 06:24 PM






Take the car back and have it tuned properly. If the manual says regular it
should run on regular.
None of this bullshit.

The manual cleary says Premium, the gas cap says Premium, all the
reveiws of this car say premium,,, Nissan is hiding nothing,,, The
maxima has always run on Premium. The engine is optimized to use
Premium.

The manual says the car will run on Reg for short periods of time if
premium is not available.

Please list the High Performance Engines that run on regular,,,,???

Pre ignition damage to the engine is not covered under the
warrantee,,,that is considered abuse.

Unbielvable,,somebody buys a $30,000 car, and bitchs about spending an
extra $100 a year on gas,,,??????????????????

I he wanted to save money on gas, he should have bought a Sentra.

and as another poster noted, its going to get 5 to 10 percent better
mileage using premium, as well as have more horse power, and better
accleration - SO WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU NOT USE PREMIUM...???

I was in a station today and they had only 87 in all pumps. Since I was
driving my Kia Sorento it was not a problem. But what will I do about my 98
Maxse when gas is needed?

1 ) pump 89,
2) go inside and buy some octane boost additive.
3) drive off

Fill it with 87. What's the issue here? It won't perform its best, and
it may ping more, but it will work.

Just . . .

DONT expect the best performance
DONT expect better gas mileage
DONT expect a quiet, smooth ride, etc etc.


87 will work, but Maximas prefer premium.

One tank of 87 won't kill the car. I just wouldn't do more than a couple a
year, and NEVER consecutively. Try to use octane booster as well, and also
try not to do it on an empty tank.

It is "tuned" to run on premium.

If you don't care about your engine's performance, why the hell would you
buy a Maxima? Really, I'm dying to know, because nobody who bitches about
using premium in this car has ever been able to answer that question.
