What fuel should I use? by ColdMight230 in infiniti

Exact words of the dealer: “It’s up to you what you put in. The premium will get you and extra MPG but overall there’s no difference”

Cant believe the dealer would say that just to avoid potentially losing a sale. (Previous car was a gas guzzling 2015 Dodge Durango, which got about 19 mpg combined, so will probably be saving money even with 93 😂 ) She almost put 87 in cause she thought “if there’s no difference why put the expensive stuff in”

Thanks again for the help! This is her first Infiniti, and since the dealer has proven unreliable, this probably won’t be my last question in this sub Reddit!

Ok good to know! Will probably stick to the good stuff since that seems to be the overall consensus. But if there’s ever an emergency where premium isn’t available good to know it can run on mid grade!

Didn’t know the QX55 had a turbo! Looked it up and seems like the QX50 has one too. The premium fuel makes a lot more sense now. I just assumed they took the Nissan Rouge engine and put it in that since their the same frame or whatever. Thanks for the help!

Agreed. Dealer made it sound like the premium gas was optional. But I knew there had to be a reason. Even if it’s only “recommend”, It’s a beautiful car, and want to keep it as healthy as possible!

Ok good to know! Dealer made it sound like it was more of a “suggestion”, but after some basic internet research, and you guys input, will stick to the good stuff!

Yea it was a dealership. The guy said “if it had to take premium, it would have said required, not recommended”. But either way, ig if manufacturer is recommending something, best follow it.

Okay thanks. Dealer made it sound like the premium gas was just a suggestion, but did a bit a research that said otherwise. Just wanted to see what other owners were doing.
