Hey, I let my dumbass brother use my car for a day, and him being "nice" was filling up my tank.

Unfortunatally, he filled it with regular unleaded fuel or whatever [the lowest/cheapest one.]

When he got in the car later that day he realized it says in big bold text "Premium Unleaded" only, and came running to me.

So anyway, i know that this isnt the most horrible thing, but how bad is it? Is my engine gonna run like crap or get damaged from this? What should I do?

Also, he said a previous time he filled he used Performance [the second one]. I told him that was ok. Performance is decent right?

I just hope he hasnt fcked my car up heh.. used it twice.. filled it twice with NOT premium.

:lol: no it shouldnt completely screw up ur engine or anything... Just dont race or anything till its been flushed out. It is possible that ur car wont perform that well until the crap gas is gone. Just be thankful he didnt pump diesel into ur car, then u'd be screwed.

nah, the worst that will happen is ur engine mite ping a bit. i would agree however not to run it TOO hard until ur down to half a tank an mix back in the higher grade fuel. isn't going to run to its full potential til u get the higher grade back in fully...but not a big deal :bigthumb:
