Well like the title says, I let her down. I didnt mean to, and I knew I done wrong just after it happened. I even prommised her not to do it ever again.

I accidently put 87 octane in her! about 3/4 of a tank . Is this going to hurt anything? Or will it just run like poop till its gone? 06 ss/sc g85.

Just put an extreme octane booster in it. I use Outlaw, even when I put Premium in it.

Gas stations like to be sneaky and switch the octanes.

shouldnt hurt it if dont drive it hard. be real easy on her until its gone. would also throw some octane booster in there

when i first bought my first cobalt ss/sc my mom drove it to school for me where i was at the time and she filled it twice with 87 octane. it had gm stage 2 and gmpp exhaust. i didnt see any issues at all

Sunburst

None at this time.

I just get used to putting 87 in my work van and I was partally daydreaming / looking at short shorts.

Just dont drive it hard and you should be fine. Just "putt around" until the 87 is almost gone then fill with 91/92+

im pretty sure stock only recommends premium fuel so just take it easy until its gone and then get the good stuff

The car's going to pull boost and timing, so just be gentle or as everyone else has said.... octane booster.. or throw some e85 in there

The low octane timing table is there for situations like this. No worries

tmaddox

Its not really a problem unless you run hard and the car starts to knock. Hopefully the computer will pick up any premature detonation or excessive cylinder heat and retard the timing automatically to protect the engine. When new fuel goes in, it will adjust back accordingly. At least that's how most modern computer controlled ignitions do it.

I couldnt take the shame so I went and bought a bottle of Lucas Octane Booster. I think maybe shes happy now. That and I was paranoid i'd mess something up.

If it's completely stock, I really wouldn't worry about it too much. The stock tune doesn't have much timing in it, and the computers will pull timing if needed when knock occurs.

Don't use octane booster, it's a gimmick. Just run it out and re-fill with premium. Don't do any pulls and stay out of boost as much as possible.

the first day i got my balt i filled it with 87 not even thinking about it
the car never ran so good
