Wrong Gas

I went to the gas station tonight and asked for $10 super but the attendant was an idiot and put regular in it, I caught it a few seconds later but there was already about 1 1/2 - 2 gallons worth of regular in. He then switched to super for the rest of the $10 which was about another gallon to two gallons.....What should I do???....How bad is it for the engine??? I was thinking about filling the tank half way with 94 octane then putting in an octane booster.............Its a 99 T/A WS6

Thanks for all your help

No harm done. Unless you're going to a drag strip for killer times, run it out normally, even with some wot blasts you'll be fine.

dude dont worry about it, it maybe lowered your octane in a full tank of gas like 1 or 2 octane points at the most i would think.

No prob, worst case, on hard accelaration, the car will ping and the PCM will switch to a less agressave timing/fuel table. next time , pump better gas.
