Unless you are pushing more boost and timing, I wouldn't really worry about it. Just switch to 91+ asap, and forget you ever touched the nasty stuff...

Are you stock?
If you are... there is a very good chance that your fine.

If you are modded at all...

Isn't all automotive gasoline unleaded? You mean you have been running Regular instead of premium

Don't worry if you are on a stock tune its not a big deal, the car has an octane sensor and will adjust itself accordingly, couple tanks of premium and it will be all better.

The computer will pull timing so if you are stock and on the stock tune you are fine.

Just run 91+ if you want full performance and or plan on beating on it.

Or are modded of course.
