Learn from others' mistakes. Or don't.
Ok I get where your coming from, sometimes there is almost 100% a story whether its harmful, or bad fuel economy, cost saver or political etc.. I just figured the op had a decent amount of common sense to address the low octane, and I did say maybe to get the octane level up as a little richer ethanol blend will help with knock/detonation. Of course my truck is 100% flex fuel and the ecos are not. I am over 10 just barely lol ! and just celebrated my 30 year anniversary with my wife, never have swam with sharks, but love shark week!
Anyway I hope the Op gets it safely straightened out and may you all have a awesome week!
