Gonna take the L on this one. I stopped by my local Chevron as the premium was cheap. I had about 2 bars on the tank of premium inside.

I wasn't paying much attention and saw the red label assumed it was 91. put in about 31 dollars of regular until i realized my mistake.

I added about 15 dollars of 91 to see if it might fix the issue. I also walked down a few blocks to get some Octane Booster and mixed that as well.

My question is, has any of you had this incident before, and did it do anything to your Supra?

or should i just not worry about it too much??

Just don't floor it till you refill up with 91, I would of added a few gallons of e85 if it was available but it's all good regardless.

Shouldn't have put that octane booster in before asking these questions, but drive it gently and burn that crap up. Then use 91-93 from here on out and be more careful in the future.

Siphon it out and give free lawn mower gas to your neighbors.

I Know I fumbled that, I was just so nervous that I messed up I just wanted to fix the issue immediately. Not very professional of me.

Unfortunately there aren't many gas stations near me that offer e85, but I did add 91 on top of my fuck up.
