it wont hurt you just for this one accidental tank....
though its probably best if you dont thrash on it
Also, avoid putting in any octane booster AFTER you fill up...
should always be before.
to avoid it in future if your using full service gas stations....maybe put a little sticker inside your gas door saying "premium only"

Just drive it easy.
When you get to a half tank or so you can top it off with premium if you want... then continue to run it till it's dry.
You won't get full power back till you've run through a tank or two of the "good stuff" though.
and +1 on the idea of a "premium only" sticker...
I still don't understand why some states won't allow you to pump your own gas... it's my car... I'll take care of it... thank you.

Edit: googled and came up with a news article that states this: "He also said New Jersey, which like Oregon requires full service gas stations as a way of creating jobs, limiting accidents and assisting the elderly, has no plans to repeal the full service requirement."
