What would happen? In my case I got a tune for 93 gas.
I ask this because a friend of mine got his STi tuned and his dad took his car out and put the wrong gas in it and he flipped his shit on his dad. But as of today he's still driving it, so I'm a little lost as to how much damage it would cause. I don't remember how much boost he was running at the time or how aggressive the tune was but I don't think I've seen my buddy that pissed off in a while.

Hmmmm. If it had been my father, I would have thanked him for the kind gesture of putting gas in MY car, then kept my disrespectful, ungrateful mouth shut about how mad I was that Dad didn't put in the gas I wanted. Sheeesh... Christmas must be real fun in that house.
I know.. I'm being a snot. But seriously... for your friend to get that torqued with his father over putting some lower octane gas in once is .. well... not real understandable, at least not to me.
Doubtful any harm was done, and if your friend is THAT worried about, nothing says he has to run the car on that gas. Dad made an honest mistake. Drain the tank and put in the gas you desire. Haven't we all pretended at sometime to like a gift we really hated or appreciate a gesture we really wished someone hadn't done?
