May not run as well, but how long will a tankful last? Really.

Don't sweat it. Treat it to some 91 octane the next time around and she'll forgive you.

Best advice was already given. Ride it out and don't lug it. Had to use regular several times. Out West, sometimes just finding gas is a pleasure. If you have an octane enhancer, use it, but you don't need it. The ECM will pick up the difference and correct some.

Run it and don't worry about it. At least you didn't screw up like me. I am so used to hitting the premium button for the bikes, I pulled my Ram 1500 up to the pump the other night and hit premium, a $100 later and it still wasn't full. DOH
