What octane? How old is the gas that was in there (if it has happened to be sitting for awhile)?

I would throw 2-3 gallons of race gas in and it should be fine for the rest of the tank so you can enjoy the car...call that option 2 on your list.

The gas is suposed to be 92 and came from the pump, just after a perfect normal tank.
