dumb friend filled w/ regular gas

So i let my friend borrow my car cuz he told me he would fill it up...well he "accidentally" filled it up w/ regular instead of premium. I shouldnt be worrying about draining my gas tank right? From what i've read it seeems like it should be ok. After I biyatch slap my buddy should I drive until the tank is empty and then fill up? Or is it okay to mix premium and regular? And as far as driving habits go, should i layoff boost? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

As everyone else said just stay out of boost and you will be fine. On a side note dont ever let your friend drive your car again. I can give you a little bit of respect for trusting your friend. I have great friends but I would never let them borrow my baby.

I never let anyone borrow my car. Hell, I don't even let my sister borrow my car let alone a friend who can't put in 93 Octane!

the ONLY person who has driven my evo, is my Mom. She wanted to see what the hooplah was about, when I first got it... I warned her, "shes got some kick" she hit 3rd, got on it, and as soon as she hit full boost (even in its stock form)... Priceless!
other than that, NO1 drives her, period! I trust no1!

If you can I would add some unleaded race fuel to it... drive it off boost until then.

Drain the tank, burn something you always hated with it, fill the car back.

Wasting nothing, end of the story.
