1996 Nissan Maxima GLE, 130K miles, Automatic, No codes

Owner's manual recommends premium gas. I've been using 89 premium gas. Is it okay to switch to 87 regular gas instead?

if premium fuel is only "recommended" and not "required" in the manual, then yeah you should be fine. It won't be making peak power, but most people are ok with that. If the engine starts knocking/pinging, you'll have to switch back to higher octane though.


Thanks for the reply.


BTW please disregard 89 premium gas. It should be 91 premium gas. : )
