Well I don't know your old lady's driving habits but if she wasn't out horse-whipping it your probably alright. I noticed in your sig that you have more than one APR program. Just to be safe I would switch it back to stock or 91 and fill the rest of the tank up with 93 just to be safe. Don't get on it too hard and listen for detonation especially if it's warm where you are.

seven points as in .7 not +7. If he has 87 in there and puts in some octane booster its like 87.7 octane, almost 88. Now if you put it in with a tank of 93 you get almost 94 and that's better, but with 87 it's like shooting yourself in the foot.

Ooo, where can you get this octane booster? I wanna put it in my tank of 94. Thats a bummer about your car though. I would be pretty upset about that. thats why I dont let anyone but me drive my auto
