Default Gas

Ok the other night I went to the dragstrip on the way home we stopped at this hess station and this guy that was pumping my gas put half 87 octane gas in it and then I caught him and told him to fill up the rest of it with 93. Is anything going to happen or will it be ok.

what are you driving? should be ok as long as you take it easy, your tune shouldn't be putting to much timing until the higher rpm's.

I woulda been pissed.

Shouldnt be a problem as long as you take it easy till your empty.

t might just putt and sputter at times.

If its really bothering you, or its really gets bad, just siphon out the gas and put in the jungle juice.

sounds like you need to not be so lazy and fill your own gas. If so this wouldn't have happen would it?

ahhh it will be fine as long as its not boosted or got ne crazy mods or a crazy tune. Hey did ne one read that article in the new 5.0 i think where they modded the new gt 500? They basically saidsome peoplethat buy that car are freggin dumb enough to put 87 so that let them advance it a few and picked up a bunch of hp without swaping out any parts. pretty nuts. Go get your cars tuned... And your cobra will be fine...
