The lowest octane available to us on base is 90. They don't have a low octane here. It's only mid grade and 93. I won't do it, but for some general gee whizz knowledge, what effects can putting a lower octane fuel in a higher tuned vehicle?

You will have pinging BAD. It may even cause engine damage. Your timing is too far advanced for running lower octane fuel. Did you get your PCM reprogrammed with the proper gear ratio alright?

Still at work. I end up working about 14 hours a day.. but i will the moment i get home. And I'll just pay the extra $2.50 a tank for 93 octane. You guys are the best. Any other basic knowledge I should know? lol
