Thats Mr.Bart to you!
ok well late last week i FILLED my car with 87, purely by accident. since i have been soo swamped at work and i hgave to costantly fill up the delivery trucks i put 87 in my car...


Not a gallon, but a full 46l, from ~empty. well, unlike last time the car reacted well to it. no unusal noises, no loss in pawer at all...??? i did a few launches, tried accelerating up a hill, tried accelerating in a hear thats too high(from under 3000rpm) and the car pulled as usal. im not going to do it again(i hope) but your car wont blow up either....



The last time i was cheap(about 2 years ago), only had like $5 and wanted to get the best bang for my buck, I limped into the station with no bars for quite some time... put 87 in it, and PING-KLANG-TIK TIK TIK TIK.... sounded like garbage, no power at all....


But this time it went well, crused on the Highway and around town, even did a bit of spirited driving with no problems, However it the car sounded like it did last time, i was going to disconnect the fuel lines and drain the gas... Its my stupid mistake, i deserve the $75 punishment to re-fill it...
