Cry to mommy.


Should be fine. Just don't rev the shit out of it. After, scold your father.

Drain the gas out with a siphon and then refill with good stuff if your that worried.

Avoid full throttle and revs over 6000rpm, but otherwise drive it like normal. When it's time to refuel, just go back to Premium.

I put std octane in a a 72 vw bug once and the idle was screwed. If I let off the gas at a stop, it would die. It was ok once I did a mileage run to burn off the tank a put the hitest stuff in it.

Won't the lower octane freak out the computer...idle adjustments, mix and whatnot?

I also saw someone say that the settings are hard coded for VTEC (rather than learned from the sensor inputs).

Stay out of VTEC!!!!

What was your dad doing driving your car? How old are you? Is he the one making payments on it?

It'll prevent detonation at higher compression and rpms.
