Buy some octane booster or buy 91/93 and fill it up .
Or go to the nearest fire station and they will pump it out for you.

Your car just depreicated by 99%. Better sell it to me for $250. Do it fast, because it will start corroding and I won't want it anymore.

any possible damage to engine?

One time wont do it much harm if any really

Besides the chirp, should not do any damage.
Now if it was diesel, whole different story.

You'll be fine.

Just drive it under 3K RPM's with octane booster.

m.wood0213 05-06-2013 01:08 AM

put shit tons of octane booster in it. then slap him and ban him from driving the car. next time he wants to give you gas $$$ say cash only

you should put a sign at your tank saying 91+ ONLY!

Diesel pump shouldn't fit into the receiver on the gas tank.

you would need so much octane booster to make a difference. Just drive it easy until empty.

Mine came with a sticker in the fuel door that says to use premium. I don't know the exact wording but there is a sign that says to use higher octane already.
