Default 93 octane?

Don't beat me up-been out of the info loop for a while. With today's engine technology, is it safe to dump about 4 gallons or so of super into my 2013 5.0 fuel tank. This is leftover from my generator occasionally. I don't think it will hurt anything, just checking.

Should be fine as long as it is good gas and not old or gummy. It runs better on 93 octane anyway

Specially with a custom tune for 93.

Damn...you treat your generator nice...I run the cheap crap in mine, but I do add ethanol remover to it.

Thanks y'all. Yep, it's good gas. I run down and grab some if the threat arises. I put it in my truck if I don't need it. I thought I would be safe, just not sure about today's engines. Thanks.
