In my town I can't really seem to find any premium gas for a while due to the hurricane IKE - so I'm somewhat forced into buying unleaded and I really don't have enough gas to drive around looking for more - for a short term of time and I mean from now until 9/19 to around 9/22 or 9/23 if i fill up 1/4 of my tank with unleaded will it do any significant damage?
[keep in mind: I don't really have a choice, most of the other threads about unleaded gas on this forum are about the cheap aspect and not so much the "i have no choice" aspect]

You'll be fine. I had to do the same thing in rural Nova Scotia in July, so I put in $10 worth of regular to tide me over for a day. No problems at all.

You might notice a bit off in performance & MPG, but that's nothing to compare with when some storm is imminent ....

Good luck ...

its ok in an emergency- just no racing and keep it under 4000 rpm
the knock sensors will retard the timing to compensate

I should hope you're ALWAYS filling up with unleaded fuel... leaded fuel will make your cats melt :P

I think you mean regular or low octane fuel. Just drive easy until you can fill up with the good stuff again.
