Today I let my sister drive my Mach to go to the store, it was low on fuel so she pumped $20 but on the cheapest octane fuel. I always pump 93 octane. She drove it for an estimate of 15 miles total.

Has this happened to anybody?
What would you guys recommend I do?

Thanks.

keep driving it...? it's not like it was diesel. just stay out of WOT and drive it till you need gas like normal.

Just drive it around. Unless its modded and tuned I doubt even WOT pulls would hurt it in any way....thats what knock sensors are for.

Most octane boosters will do nothing but foul your plugs faster. I would just drive it easy till you refuel it.
