retune needed?

running stock 93 tune. only had 1/4 of gas and $8. got 2.2 gallons of 87.

hopefully can fill it up after I get off work and get a advance pay from my second job. already called and asked, and they said I could get my pay in advance.

No, not if you take it easy.

Put it back to stock then load the tune again after filling back up with premium.

Or

Do you have an 87 tune?

2.2 gallons won't hurt with a full tank but could cause ping with only a quarter tank.

Ok thanks, I have a pretty sizable tank, its over 20 gallons I know. I think its a 26 gallon tnak?
I really, really hate to run the tank so low and I plan on changing the fuel filter next time I get paid from my primary job (the 4th) but I was just in a pinch and thats all the money I had on me.

Hopefully that didn't dilute the fuel so much that it will hurt it, I have to drive 22 miles to make it to my second job from this one, I get 13.9 MPG. thats cutting it fairly close.


At a 1/4 tank I figure there is about 4-6 gallons in the tank, and i added 2.2 gallons.

This will be the absolute lowest I have ever ran the tank, makes me feel bad but I guess we all get in those little pinches.

I think ill go back to factory or trans only then when I fill it up ill retune it back to 93.
