Question

what exactly do they do?

i'm a new driver, and i accidently put in 95 grade instead of 87 like i usually do... is this a problem, would it be stupid to drive my car or mix grades?? HELP ME PLEASE!!

Answer 1

Trust me, you have nothing at all to worry about.  The only thing it has done to you is cost you more.  

Answer 2

that is no big deal just never do what a friend of mine at work did

one day. He put Diesel in a Gas Car Not Good

Answer 3

this isn't bad at all its just a higher octane of gas the higher the octane the better the gas is that is why it cost more  

Answer 4

grades are not a big deal some cars call for a higher grade becouse they run at higher rpm with a turbo or supercharger. just stay away from the green pump

Answer 5

it wont hurt your car

Answer 6

Higher octane gas actually contains more additives the DON'T burn than regular. Don't worry about it.

Answer 7

probably it wont smoke or catch fire depending on how much unburnt fuel it's sending through your exhaust. A higher octane is for high performance engine. if your dad knows anything about the effect of a higher octane on emissions, than he probably will, don't worry he'll understand that you didn't know.
