Help please.. fuel issue
I stopped at my local gas station to get some fuel on the way home today and selected premium, well it wasn't till I was about 8 gallons in when I realized that the pump was pumping regular and not 93.. even though I selected 93. I then stopped and went to a different pump and fueled it up to the top with 93. Well I figured the 87 is terrible for the vehicle So i stopped Next door and got a 108 turbo octane booster. I figured It would help the mix get to a higher octane.. what should I do? I'm scared of knock or any other issues that may arise. Car is a 08 stock, with axle back.

It will be just fine. The car is capable of running on 87 and some people actually do that to them on the regular. Some states only offer 91 as a max anyhow. With the fuel left in the tank and topping off with 93 you are probably pretty close to 91 anyhow. To be overly safe just don't floor it everywhere and wait until it is fairly low before refilling. If it were mine, I would just drive it as I normally would.
