You fill it up and drive! You may lose a few horsepower over 93 octane. But your engine management system knows you have lower octane in the tank because of a knock sensor. Then it will lower your timing as needed to prevent any knock and consequent engine damage. Most drivers won't even notice a difference at all.

Are you talking about E85 or just regular gas with +/-10% ethanol? If you're talking about E85, I would NO. That will cause fairly major problems with the fuel system. If it regular fuel with ethanol, then you don't have much of a choice. Almost all fuel now contains this corrosive junk. Whether the pump says it has it or not, it most likely does. Most states have a mandate now. You should be running startron enzyme fuel treatment through the fuel system on a very regular basis to counteract the horrible effects of the junk, then call your state government and tell them to take this stuff out of your gas!
