Messed up with gas

Octane booster doesn't help much. It will only raise the octane a few points. Either drive carefully for half a tank and top off with premium, or throw some Toluene in. That'll raise the octane. Just don't get any on your paint.

You WILL notice a big performance dropoff. All you can do is ride it out until next refill. Low octane won't hurt the car but the engine will let you know you're not going anywhere fast.
