quick question

my car is parked for the winter sence i have a blazer to drive. but today it was nice and the car has been siting for 3 months. so i took it out and the low fuel light came on so i went to get gas and i put in the wrong gas. i forgot i had the g5 so i hit 87 and not 93. so at like $10 i saw what i did and turned the bump off and went inside and told the guy. he turned it back on and i put in another 10 of 93. i have never put anything less the 93 in the car in almost 4 years and now i mess it up. so do i have anything to worry about? my dad said it will burn fine and to take it slow with it then just to fill it back up with all 93. but the thing is the cars going to be parked again and im not sure the next time im going to drive it will be.
