E-15 can only be used in vehicles designed to run on E-15 fuel. Do not use E-15 in your vehicle. U.S. government regulations require fuel ethanol dispensing pumps to be identified with small, square, orange and black label with the common abbreviation or the appropriate percentage for that region.

Which is the most octane sensitive V6 engine?
Typically the 3.5L VQ V6 is one of the most octane sensitive engines around. And at least up until 2005, 91 octane was recommended if you wanted to get the advertised amount of power and fuel economy you paid for. I’ve noticed that they’ve squeezed some more power out of it since then.
Do you need premium for Altima or maxima?
Yet Altima drink regular and Maxima guzzle premium. What am I missing? The weight of the vehicle…and the tranny gearing…and the size of the tires… If the Maxima “requires” premium then you must use premium. If it is merely “recommended” then use regular. The Maxima is a higher end vehicle so the engines probably have higher end parts.
