When you say super I suppose you mean premium? Your car will "work" with regular, but I believe it is reccomended that you put premium in it. I bought my car for performance as well as luxury and from my experience when I tried regular for the first and last time you can deff feel the difference.

I'd be especially careful in the heat of texas and humidity. You don't want any knocking.

You could go 87, I wouldn't go lower than 89. 91 is recommended.

91+ I put 93 in mine...

Oh and Im sure MR. 87 and 401k will be here soon! But he doesn't ever go faster than 30mph and 3k rpms on the motor

Try both and use what you like... But i like to get the most HP out of my G so i use 93 also When i put 87 and drive like i normally do i loose about 1-2 mph going from 23-about 20...

As expected

So, everyone has a preference... but I only use 91 as well. There is no 93 where I am, so that's a bummer. I have never noticed any knocking with 87, but can't really recall, it was over a year ago and only did it twice.

I do remember switching for a reason... oh yeah, it's supposed to run on premium. That's what is says right in the manual.

I get anywhere from dismall mpg, to OK mpg. I have achieved maximum of 22mpg... hwy.

But I drive like a jack arse most days.

put in what your owners' manual recommends.

Telco has a a 03-06 sedan which does not require premium.

had my 05 G35 sport for 3.5 years and always put in 93 premium. runs great and it's only about an extra $3 per fill up. But, I only have 26k miles, so don't drive it as a commuter. Have an 05 Murano that needs premium and used to put in 87 and think i ruined something. never had run quite as smooth since.
