just take it easy, dont beat in it. if you stay out of or at lower boost you will be fine. its not like the motor is gonna gernade itself from cheap gas, all its gonna do is have some knock wich the pcm will pick up and retard the timing.

its fine dude dont stress you probably will hear a slight knock but once you run the gas out and refill it with 193 it will be ok...and FYI you havent been able to siphon gas since like 85 if you could i wouldnt ever buy gas again.

You'll be fine, just try not to get on it that much and stay out of boost until the tank is empty. Refill with premium.

It would be bad if you never put 93 in it ever again, people borrow my car and now matter how many times I say it takes premium they always fil it back up with 87, it's at the point if you need it I will fill it up and don't worry about addinggas if you can't get the right kind.

its all good man. your car won't like it much, and I'd stay away from loads of boost, but the car will be fine. the day I drove my car off the lot, I told the salesman NOT to put the shitty fuel they fill new vehicles with in my tank. this statement was laughed at, and I was basically ignored. sure enough they filled er up with 87octane. the car ran fine, untill it hit 4200 RPM and it would then just give up. it was like i would hit a rev limiter right there, and that was all she would give me. once I burned off all that low grade gas, and topped it up with premium, the car ran fine. just go easy on it untill you can get a full tank of the good stuff in there.

there's knock sensors in place so as long as you don't drive ***** to the wall you'll be totally fine. gas mileage may suffer a little, other than that no problems if you take it easy.

With newer cars you have nothing to worry about. If it was an older car you mite have somethings to worry about.

You can add octane level booster till u burn that tank then go back to premium and premium is only recommended doesnt need to be used. will possibe cause a ping due to poor combustion pre detonation......... premium is only 91 octane its not like ur car is meant to fun 103 octane haha then **** would **** up

Also ur not running any stage upgrades either?

Drive easy till the car gets below half a tank then put 93 octane in and you will be fine.

Do not use octane boost, it is a total rip off. A bottle of octane boost *MAY* raise your octane by 5 points, which is .5. You would need to put in 4 bottles of octane booster to even raise the octane enough to make a difference.
