Ever put the wrong gas in your truck?

I was in a hurry to get to work this morning and my low fuel light popped on. I stopped to get gas at Mobil and pumped gas. After I was done, I realized that I stuck in the 89 Octane mid-grade stuff. I know how I made the mistake though. In my neighbor hood, the superunleaded is $1.89 or so. It usually a little higher elsewhere. When I got to the pump and saw "Special" and a price of $1.95, I immediately though it was super.

I usually fill up everytime at the pump so that I'm not buying gas every 2-3 days, but fortunately I only bought about $15 worth of gas this morning. Guess I'll just have to stay out of the boost for a few days.

I ran my L on 90 octane for six months, but I had a tune for it. I would suggest that you stay out of the boost. Or, you can try filling up with 93 octane that would surely help.
