drive it to empy, fill it up with premium twice and then do a fuse pull of number 5 and 20. some have also suggested ptting octane booster in the regular, wether or not it work i dont know but it cant hurt.

Tow it to a junkyard, have the guy with the giant magnet crane pick the car up, tilt it, and pour the gas into a drum. Or, just drive it around for a while.

Unless you have had your car tuned, you won't cause any damage running that one tank of 87 out.

You won't have the same performance level (if the ECM detects any spark knock, it will switch to the low octane table and retard timing), but your car won't automatically self destruct.

After a tank or two of premium, do the fuse pull if you fee performance isn't what it used to be.

I'm going to get octane booster, the car feels like sh*t already and I've only driven 15 miles. I HATE THIS
