Tonight got stuck in the boonies where they only had 88 octance gas..how the hell does that happen? And was forced to put just a little over a gallon in to get to another station..i have a 91 octance tune by VMP..with the low amount of low octance i should be ok once i put in more 91 correct?

i would say try run all the 88 out first before putting in the 91, and should be ok.

I'd tank up with 93 if you can find it. Otherwise tank up with 91 and refill again when you're down to 3/4 or 1/2 tank. You should be fine.

That's onereasonI carrymy tuner in the car...

1 gallon of 88 oct mixed with 14 of the other stuff should be fine

+1 and dont go WOT untill you can fill it again and you'll be good

I know ya did frank but you know me..i gotta get second opinions. Plus..it raises my post count And IF i had a second tune..which it looks like i'm going to have to get soon for situations like this, then i woulda loaded it as i carry my tuner in the car too. Thanks for all the quick responces.

what good does that do when you still have your intake on, and then start gettin detonation, and pinging... unless you plan on changing back to stock intake, and tune.. leave it tuned how it is, and you should be fine.. just fill with 93, and it will mix in and you will probably still be over 91 after it mixes..1 gallon of 88 mixed with 14 of 93.. no way it equals 91 or less... if anything more than 91..

but question.. do we realllly realllly realllly need to put 93 in?.. i mean i have heard that you dont need that unless your blown.. what would happen if you have a 93 tune and put 88 in all the time?

i have used 89 on a 93 tune and didnt have a problem with detonation since it was cold out.

Im the same, I carry my tuner with me...

Its good becuase it has different tunes for different octanes.

They are all tuned to work with the intake, etc, etc.


I had to do the same thing, Im tuned for 94 and then i had to put in 91...ran fine...its not that big of a difference, but as stated, just stay out of WOT...drive normal...but dont take it to the track haha, and i wouldnt do it to often!
