over my spring break i went down to Missouri to visit a very good friend of mine. unfortunatly she lives in a small town with gas stations that dont know what 93 octane is. i was forced to put 87 in my GTP (which made me want to cry)
is it really bad for my car? i know with the supercharger it makes the compression higher, which will burn the fuel faster. and detonation occurs when fuel is burned pre-maturely. higher octane fuels burn longer which prevents detonation.....i understand all that. but when i had the 87 octane in my tank i stayed off the supercharger. not letting my car rev over 2500 RPMs and when going up hills coming basicly to a crawl to prevent the throttle body from opening up and letting the supercharger work its magic. the way i see it i should be ok...right? unless im missing something. also what is the lowest octane i should put in? cuz once i got back to civilization i could only find 91 from BP......which made me feel better, although i thought BP had 93 everywhere....
thx for the feedback in advance. hopefully my car wont piss oil from having 87 octane from hick-town gas station in forsyth MO....
