About 2 min later when it's ALMOST done I look at the handle and I see it says PLUS, so I look to the right and it says REGULAR, and then I see it in the middle, PREMIUM V-POWER....who the **** puts the premium gas in the middle??? The stupid ***** at Shell need to learn how to count....uhhh it should go from right to left 87 octane, 89 octane, then 93 octane....NOT 87, 93, 89, ******* retards, anyways(done ranting)

Look at it this way..it could be worse. I was gassing up in town at the trusty XOM and some guy in a giant extended cab 2500 grabs the green handle and pumps 35 something gallons into his truck before he realizes green pumps in the city do not necesarily mean diesel fuel. As far as I know he had to get towed.

Yeah man I agree, there dumb ***** for that one. But like stated above just throw a octane booster in.
I'd be pissed as hell as well, I have a pcm tune done to the Z and require to run premium, so I could only imagine man. Just run the octane booster and you'll be fine.

octane booster you can buy from Autozone or Walmart don't do crap. I wouldn't waste your money on that stuff.
Your car is programmed to run on both 87 and 91/93. There are (2) timing tables and your PCM will pick the right one if it detects any kind of knock...SO DON'T WORRY!
