What up guys? So I'm coming back from the Miami game late at night and end up running out of gas on Alligator Alley (anyone from the are will tell you..not very good) but fortunately a road ranger pulled up and only had regular so he put probably 2-3 gallons in and when I found the nearest station I put 93 back in. I kept smelling a funky smell (gas) burning it seemed. Just wondering if it will damage anything down the road?

just stay out of the boost for a little while until the lower octane is flushed out... I believe in the manual it says you can use regular (87) oct. for emergencies just don't get on it for a little bit...

I'm no guru but worst case 87 octane will be more prone to knock if you get on the boost. unless you thrashed it or have a standalone that would bypass the high det map you should be totally fine.

as long as you didnt get on the boost with the crappy gas, then your fine

I've put 87 in by accident when I first got the car, got into boost and everything. Worst mistake ever but I haven't had any problems yet so far because of it. *knocks on wood*

I wouldn't be satisfied with anything less than dumping the tank and refueling... but yea I would just stay off boost.

I agree. But as long as you didn't flog it with the crap-gas in there, no damage should have been done. If you absolutely can't empty it, go to http://www.racegas.com/gt100locals/default.asp and look for a nearby Sunoco station that sells GT100 and drop $80 on a tank full of that and you should be ok.

"Sunoco GTTM 100, which has the highest octane rating of any street legal fuel, is now available at selected retail locations. Sunoco GT 100 is designed for high performance street cars, muscle cars, classics, street rods, motorcycles, karts and marine applications.

I have a place real close that sells that fuel a little leary about dumping it in though plus I dont think they let you pump it into your car I think you have to put it in a can. Anyone use it at all not tuned

There is a station near me, in the 'hood in WPB. The pump is off to the side, lol it's actually pump 13 and there is no credit card slot, you have to go in and pay. I have filled up there probably 10 times in the 2 years I have owned my car, and have never had a single problem, other than the car running so good that I wish I could afford to run it all the time.

I only have light mods (cams, fmic, tbe, etc.) and a mail in Dynoflash, but I ran that gas before and after the flash without any problems.

I've been to that same pump

I just remembered, some of the pumps have stickers on them that say it is leaded fuel.

IT IS NOT LEADED FUEL

It's illegal to pump leaded fuel into a street car. You can only buy it in a container or at a real race track. The problem is that the poeple who work at these stations don't know a damn thing about racegas, or much else for that matter, otherwise they wouldn't work at a gas station.

Stay out of boost....and add octane booster which you can get at a local auto store like pep boys or Advanced Auto Parts.
