I was half asleep this morning putting gas in my car. It was almost empty. The pump stopped at 15 bucks. This didnt make sence because it usually takes about 20 bucks to fill it. I looked down and noticed that I had put 87 octaine in it.

Well needless to say It knocks pretty bad. Tried turning the timing down but didnt help. I cant wait untill Some of this crap is gone from my tank. I need to get some 93 FAST. Just a reminder, if you have mods done to the engine in your car DONT PUT 87 IN IT !!!!!
