Hey all...In my frantic state to find a gas station this evening, the reserve icon was staring at me, I accidently put regular gas in my '96 LT1! Thats right 87 octane!!!! Poor thing.;stupid
So I babied her home, even though some ricer was looking to run...dang I hate to miss an opportunity like that...but I had stomped a *ord Rustang GT earlier, so I was ok with missing the ricer. SO anyways, I babied her home. I didn't notice anything bad happening, no knocking, didn't feel like any lack of power, everything was just fine. I did stomp on it once to bring the RPM up under load to see if that had any effect and she just jumped at the opportunity to run. So I'm left with the notion that I had almost a dry tank (1 bar left on fuel gauge) and completely filled it with regular. Should I be concerned? Will I have a problem with fouling plugs, pre-detonation? Should I go buy a can of octane boost? Run half the tank down and then fill it back up with Premium, or all the way dry again?
;help
