Hey guys... last night it was late and i was at the gas pump and accidently put in 87. Now I know premium is the best for these cars and ive never put anything but. So now im wondering if it will hurt the performance or what i should/can do? I was pissed cuz the gas station i normally go to the premium is on the far right and naturally i went for the far right pump and not paying attention i put in 87 ($35bucks worth by the time i noticed). Now i feel like a moron and a noob but im **** about my car, its my baby. I dont think its really gonna harm anyhting but a little reenforcement on that would make me feel better haha
Thanks in advance

You can pass by an autostore and pick some octane booster, dump half a can in there and call it a day.

It's no big deal....just don't push it hard till you use up the fuel.

I drive my car on 87 everyday & have even run 12.9 at the track on 87. Never once had a issue with anything. As long as your stock as far as compression, you'll be fine.

Now if you have heads & higher compression I wouldn't suggest driving it much on anything except premimum or higher.

You are fine - besides, if the car starts to knock it'll pull timing and maybe switch to the low octane tables in the computer.

i hear that 87 mixed with a higher octane can cause a nuclear reaction.

u will be fine just dont beat on it til the tanks out. i had to use it during the hurricames 2 yrs ago and after the tank ran out i filled her back up with some premium and some octane boost and she was good to go.

dont dump in octane booster. it contains alcohol witch in turn puts some pretty sweet holes in pistons

1- Where did you ever hear that?
2- Think before you speak, cars run on E85 with proper tune.
3- It is not alcohol but methanol and not all of them have it.
