S/C with SOME normal gas and some premium gas

Ok tonight I went fill up and I put about 6.68 gallons of my normal gas. Now I'm what should do. Should I stay out boost or just take the gas out and put premium gas.

buy octane booster, if not the S/C will just bogg out a bit but as long as it's predominantly 93+ octane, you shouldn't have a BIG problem

I would say you are fine to boost with the octane booster

drive normally and you will be fine. Or to be safe buy a gallon or 2 of e85 that will have the same effect as octane boost

E85 is the shiz - just have to have big injectors to run 25-35% more fuel on w0t

But it is 110 octane i believe

watch out with e85, it can corrode your fuel system if its not built right
