i feel dumb right about now. ive been driving the wifes car for the past few days so ive been putting in 87 oct when i get gas. so today i take the Evo out and went to get gas and without thinking i pumped 87 Oct I had to drive 25 min. across town without boosting to the only place i know of in the high desert to get a gallon of 104. what a waste of an hour lol anyone ever accidently run their car on 87 oct?

 

Nope, but I would be doing the same thing you did to correct the problem.

 

nope

 

i did it in my jetski one time and f-ed it up lol

 

stay outta boost and drive like a granny. drive it as low as u can before filling up again w/ premium

 

that sucks. it did serious damage to your jet ski? those were the worst 25 min of my life i didnt realize how much driving sucked without boosting lol

 

yea the thing misfires so much it goes less than half its normal speed. its brand new too... 12,000$ i didnt know it was 93 only

 

well here in Dominican Republic, its either 89 or VP...you decide. So I am used to running without boost, although I do have a specific tune for 89 octane and another tune for race gas C16...now if only VP Import was a bit cheaper.

 

yup that happened to me a few weeks ago, I really dont know what came over me.

 

one gallon of 104 isn't nearly enough. That would only bring up your total octane a little more than a point. You need to put in about 5 gallons of 104, but I'm sure the tank is full. Continue NOT to boost until you've raised the octane a lot more, and no, octane booster doesn't count.

 

when i got gas i had less than 1/4 and i put in 6 gallons of 87. Would 1 gallon of 104 not be enough? i dont want to have to drive back out there again. what about just adding octane booster to help?

 

forget that last i just read octane booster does not count lol

 

wow youre right i just figured that i have approximately 2 gallons of 91 and 6 gallons of 87 and 1 gallon of 104 that would put me aroun 89-90 oct. but thats better than 87

 

just drive it like a granny and DONT boost it. take it as low as possible and fill up with premium

 

id be better off getting more 104. i only work like 7 miles away and i really dont drive much outside of going to work so it might take a while to run the gas down lol
