So true so true! I use premium, but I filled up with 87 (one tank) on my way to Alabama last week just to see how my car would ride and there was NO DIFFERENCE in the way my car ran. My car didn't stumble, turn off, or any of the other things I've read on these post.AlabamaDan wrote:Have you read how this group gets upset when you don't use premium?

BTW, here is a question. I owned a Infniti J30 before I purchased my Y33 and that car required premium. However, the nissan 300z has the same motor as the J30, but the nissan required regular. Could someone explain why one car needed premium gas but the nissan, which has the same motor as the J30 required regular?
Before I get into a war about which gas I use in my car, it's Premium.
Know how much energy it takes to break the hydrogen=oxygen bond in water?1990QOwner wrote:Wow guys, I was talking more of hydrogen or something similar. If you can separate it from water than you would have an unlimited source.
I don't plan on burning my food in my car. Hydrogen is also much cleaner burning.
All we need is $5.00/gal gas. There's enough oil in the Canadian and American oil sands to fuel the entire world for another 100 years - just isn't economical enough at $3.00/gal or $80/bbl crude.maxnix wrote:What we need is for someone to rediscover how the Nazis produced gasoline from coal after the Ploesti oil fields were bombed.

Rediscover? It is re-discovered. IMO the Government is suppressing it. Go to YouTube and search "Magnet Motor" and it will amaze you what you will find.maxnix wrote:

This does not have anything to do with synthetic fuels, nor is it amazing in the least to anyone capable of passing a General Science course.1990QOwner wrote:Rediscover? It is re-discovered.

My point was that the government does suppress stuff like efficient alternative fuels such as separating hydrogen from water.maxnix wrote:This does not have anything to do with synthetic fuels, nor is it amazing in the least to anyone capable of passing a General Science course.

I doubt it. Think how much energy the armed forces alone uses.1990QOwner wrote:My point was that the government does suppress stuff like efficient alternative fuels such as separating hydrogen from water.
IF, IMO had all the money expanded on the current two adventures, using the armed forces, had been devoted towards alternate fuels we would probably be self sufficient by now in this country, but...maxnix wrote:I doubt it. Think how much energy the armed forces alone uses.
It's more physics than politics.
The way the car is tuned can dictate that. Wes' ECU requires Premium, or else the knocks will pick up enough "noise" to negate the additional power from the tune.NightRiderQ45 wrote: ...
