i dont know what you guys are talking about but you really need to siphon that tank and take the car to the dealership ASAP!!!

LOL

ON325i · 11-12-2005, 10:24 PM

you just increased your car value by plus fuel - regular fuel fee.

BMW Lawman · 11-13-2005, 04:09 AM

Avoid any and all objects which could cause a chain event explosion....just like in the Simpsons.

Atty · 11-13-2005, 08:10 AM

You should not, under any circumstances, attempt to drive it as there is a potential risk of explosion. Or, one of the wheels may fall off without notice. Call your insurance company first thing tomorrow and get them to declare your car "totalled"; then order a new one.

In the alternative, just move on and pretend it never happened...

hehehe

No its just a lower octane

Just like we will have 93 and 95 Octane Unleaded in JHB from Janurary

ben1364 · 11-13-2005, 11:28 AM

Plus in mid-grade/octane in U S parlance. It won't hurt the engine but it would be false economy to continue using lower octand than the engine is designed for. By the same token, there is no advantage from burning a higher octane gasoline than an engine is designed for assuming the engine is in proper working order (not pre-igniting).
