Full Freakin tank of bad gas

the knock sensors would compensate for the lower octane fuel by retarding the timing. Or you can always put in a bottle of octane booster. Originally Posted by Kaldaien Wow,

I have burned those 2 gallons off by now, and if nothing else, your story has given me comfort that I didn't just fsck up my engine

So thanks for that
