Yes! Don't drive the car! Drop the tank and get all of that crap out of the there or...























Just take it easy and buy a little can of octane booster for insurance.

Stay the hell out of the throttle. No big boosting. Drive it like an old lady going to church on Easter Sunday. Better yet, siphon it out and use it to torch your neighbor's STi.

I had to put a gallon of 87 in my car once when I got stuck in the middle of nowhere. Some places in Wyoming *only* have 87! Never again.

What makes me laugh are the people who swear that there is no difference between the grades of fuel. "Well, my car runs fine with 87 so I don't see why anyone should ever need it"! My fiancee's Suzuki even threw a CEL, and after reading the manual, she found out it needs 89. Light went away.

This reminds of a funny story. My wife had a Volvo Turbo Wagon which had to run on premium. One day some moron filling up at the self-serve gas station, trying to be chivalrous, or trying to pick her up or whatever, insisted that he pump the gas for her. Of course the schmuck put 87 in it.
