get 3 gallon of 100 mix it up, then you will be fine. Octane booster only raise up 0.1 Octane

What makes me laugh are the people who swear that there is no difference between the grades of fuel.

I hate those kind of people. I have friends with college degrees who swear up and down anything over 87 octane is a scam. I try to explain knock, timing retard and all the other things the ECU will have to do in order to safely run it on a high performance car. There's no point though.

As long as you stay off the boost you will be fine. If you stay off the boost you wont need that harder to burn fuel. Stay below 3000rpms and below 70mph.

No need to dump the gas, just drive slow and out of boost - our motors are fairly low compression anyways.

If you have no way to empty your tank by siphon/dropping it, take that drive to the Shop 40+ miles away staying out of boost. Once there you should have burned some gas along with any you already burned. Get some 100+ octane (higher the better to offset the 87) there and fill it up and drive easy till you refill again.

dotn use octane boost. Also you should be fine - if you are runnign a non-flashed stock ecu- your ecu will jut revert to the map with lowest timing and a richer AFR. Just dont do WOT runs all day long - go make some trips and burn it off
