so i'm driving along, windows down, just enjoying my music in 4pm Santa Monica (LA) traffic. all of a sudden my poor 3 starts having a seizure.
i jump out of the car and start pushing. luckily i was close to an alley and was able to get to the side of the road safely. call up my friend who drives a 32 ford which doesn't have a working gas gauge and therefore always has a spare gallon or 2 of gas. fill up with about a gallon of 91 octane and get to a gas station. i fill up my friends plastic container and think to myself, "screw it, let's see what 91 feels like" and proceed to fill my tank with 91.
i was wondering, how bad is running out of gas for the engine?
also, do you guys think 91 octane will make much of a difference in our cars?
and one last question, i heard somewhere it was bad to switch back and forth between high octane (91) and normal (87) gas. just wanted to know if this was true or not
thanks in advance guys, i really want to know how much damage might be caused to the engine by running out of gas.
