I didn't do anything wrong except, I had 87 fuel in the tank instead of 91. The manual recommends 91 as an absolute minimum (it's the highest I can get where I live unfortunately ).

Not that it makes the situation any better, but the clueless dealer told me any fuel type was fine.

Anyway, 1200 miles with the wrong fuel, did I ruin my engine or what? Should I be worried?
You've likely done irreparable damage to the engine and the entire fuel system. The car is only good for parts now. I'll give you $3000 for it.

Just kidding... unless you wanna sell it for $3000 just 'cause I'm a GREAT guy. You're fine.. no worries.. enjoy your car.
