2 Questions......Need help..
Hey How are Ya'll....well like it says I got two questions for you....First I know and I always use 93 or up octane gas on my S, I told my mom to take my car to the shop because I was at work and she saw it was low on fuel so she filled the half of the thank with the mid-kind (89 octane) 
so I would like to know how harmful is this to my car and what should I do??????Thanks
The second question its about my car not driving straight, If I'm crusing around the Hwy it doesn't pull as much, almost nothing but when I floor it or even go from 10% throttle to a 60% my car will just pull me to my right side.
...Do you all know what might be causing that? tire pressure maybe? tire wear? thanks BTW I got no tread left on my rear tires.........
D.

Car is fine on 89 octane, it is smart enough to take care of itself and retard the ignition. Reduced performance is the only side-effect.
As for the pulling under acceleration, 99% (not 98% and not 99.5%
) of the time it is tire pressure. In your case a low right rear. Keep in mind that under wet conditions with well worn rears the S is dangerously unstable at surprisingly low speeds. I would drop the $300 on a new set before you take an expensive ride (and different tires front and rear can also make things interesting).
