87 octane

Anyone have any experiences with running 87 by accident? Some bozo put in 10 gallons of 87 because he was too busy running his mouth to pay attention to what he was doing. I made him top it off with another 7 gallons of 92 for free. I dropped in a couple pints of 108 octane boost. What is this going to do to me?

Note: Oregon is one of the few states where they don't let you pump your own gas.

Thanks.

Stephen

Significant Technical Input
Unless you're planning on pulling a trailer through Death Valley you won't have any problems.

Found that out on my way to PIR on OCT 27th. Got out to fill up the car and 'some' guy is asking what I wanted and started to open my gas cap. I was ready to punch this guy and say stay away from my car, but luckily for him I glanced and caught the "full-service" sign on the pump and let him slide.
Then looked for a self-service one and saw it was full or nothing. Kinda wierd when you don't see it coming. Are you supposed to tip those guys too?

New Jersey is another one of those states and no, I do not tip them. A pleasant "Thank You" and "Happy Holidays" works for me.

Many years ago some bozo pumped diesel into my wife's car even thought the gas lid clearly stated "Unleaded Only". Then he told her to move the car into the repair bay so it went through the fuel system and stalled it. They had to pay to tow it to the dealer and to get the system flushed.

I guess it pays to patronize your favorite station and get to know the attendants, and when you travel, keep a careful watch on them.
