    Hi,
    My kid thought she was doing me a favor by filling the tank on my '97 Cobra with regular instead of premium. Any harm in driving it less than normal and filling it often with premium. Thanks for your help.:shrug:

    Just don't go flogging the living crap out of the car and you should be okay.

    No Big Deal

    No worry, flog it. The EECIV will retard the timing to compensate and no harm will come from it. No big deal.
