Default Shop filled tank with regular gas. Options? Solutions? Problems?
In testing my fuel tank/pump/senders, the new gal (mechanic) at the local shop filled my gas tank -- with regular gas. At least it was a good brand.

1. Can I expect any combustion problems or will the ECU compensate?

2. Is there anything I can add to the (full) tank at this point that will put us closer to "normal?"

3. Other. Please explain:_________________

Default If you're really worried, don't they make octane modifiers?
Seems I've heard of bottles of Toluene or other stuff used as octane boosters.
