Just drive normal.....it wont hurt your motor.

Or you can always add some xylene that will bump up the octane level?

Fill up with 93 if possible, it should act like a bad tank of 91. Its not like it takes long to go through a tank of gas in these things.

Stock tune, you will be fine. My turbo Miata, the salesman put 87 in when I bought it, I floored it around town literally for 2 weeks with no problem.

I think you need to get that stuff out of there asap...ie, you need to drive as fast as possible, in boost all the time, and WOT whenever possible.


Just kidding

Like everyone said, you'll be fine, just stay out of too much boost. Besides there's low octane maps in the ecu for a reason.

I put 2.5 gallons of diesel in my car once, that was fun. Poured some octane boosters in there and rode it out. Good times!

i put 87 in my tank a couple of times when gas prices were very high. it drove perfectly fine. i even boosted to 28 psi on it a few times. probably not the smartest idea. but i don't know why but when i had 87 with meth on 28psi it shot
flames out my exhaust.

but anyways your car will be fine
