Messed up with gas

Is El Paso TX a high elevation area? I'm surprised they're selling 85 octane if it's near sea level.

I've actually never heard of 85 octane

Haha come to Colorado, that's all we use for the cheap stuff. 87, 91, 100 and E-85 are available. Wish we got 93 octane.

Yup. Never knew 85 existed.

OP you should be fine. Just drive normal and dont push your car to its limit.

It was not 85 it was 86 I just miss-typed on my smartphone. I have not been able to tell the difference yet, I will just wait till half way and then fill up again. It was only 4 -5 gallons. I saw the price at Costco and I got excited $2.24.
