Put Regular Gas (87) in the Si by mistake
So this afternoon, I was out and about doing errands. As I was close to BJ's I decided I'd fill up the tank in the Si (so I'd not have to worry about filling up for the next two weeks).
So I rolled in, and thought I pressed 93 and filled up. As I heard the nozzle switch off, I glanced at the pump and realized that I'd pressed 87
The tank was half full which means I put in a half tank of 87 (around 6.13 gallons in a tank with 13 gallon capacity) to go with the 93. Honda recommends premium gas (91) for the Si.
I remember Ellen saying it was ok, but I still am a little freaked out and was very gentle driving back home.

All is lost- no since in keeping it now! Might just as well give it to me!
I'm say that knowing you'd find its power very anemic (200HP and 139 lbf·ft torque)
Its basically half the car you have

Just drive it gently till you can put 93 in it at some point. Your milege might be bad on this tank. My experience is anecdotal. A friend ran a couple of tanks of regular in a Prelude Si that had "Premium Fuel" clearlyprinted on the gas gauge. It'll be cool but I'd give you a good price on your Fuji Blue.
