Gas Fillup Accident
 

so i went to fill up my tank with gas and noticed it only cost me 32 bucks. so hell yeah i was hella stoked considering i had a little less than a quarter tank. well my bliss came to an adrupt halt when i realized i put regular, not premium. well i drove the car for a while took it up to highway speeds even passed that. launched a few times and everything seems to be ok. but has anyone else done this? does any one know if anything will happen?

The car will pull ignition timing (retard) on account of knock, you will not have maximum power, but you will be fine until you get gas again. If it really bothers you fill up again at half tank, then you will atleast have mid grade.

Most cars that require high octane will run on lower, just run like crap. (exactly what this dude said ^

and hey....at least you didnt put diesel in it! Ive heard of people doing that to cars.

you could also get some octane booster from autozone. not sure if the stuff really works but hey, couldnt hurt

I'm so fortunate to be upgraded to a dude now.:happyanim:

Still a cheaper fix then putting gas in a diesel engine.

octane booster will fix it !!! more powwwaaa

Or worse putting Diesel in a Gas engine (Boom).

I don't even know how that's possible since the diesel nozzle should be physically too large to fit in a regular gas filler.

if you can believe it, here in some third world states the nozzles are still the same size... LOL

I'm actually pretty sure octane booster won't do anything. 0.2 higher octane or something useless like that.

misleading thread title is misleading.

Just avoid high rpms and heavy load (no WOT). When it gets down to a quarter tank fill up with 93, and that should put you at ~91.5.

I would need to check my owners manual again but theres a few additives it doesnt recommend. One of which i believe is a popular "Octane Booster" ingredient. I'll double check tonight after work. This is only speculation for now though!
