I'm coming back on Wednesday night or Thursday morning, then I got some forum stuff to take care of that day. Friday or Saturday is when it'd be good for me. Does that work for you?

i have a problem. well, the gas station i usually go to usually have their premium pumps on the right side and i went there except i went to a different pump directly across it. i ended up filling half my car up with regular until i realized that i had picked up the wrong pump!! what should i do?? i know i shouldnt mix it with premium so should i just ride it off until my next fillup?

Why can't you mix with premium? Wouldn't that just make some hybrid octane of 89-91? I think I have done that before, is this bad...

Regular gas won't harm anything as long as you're not flooring it to burn it off. Your ECU will adjust itself accordingly based on variables (i.e., detonation).

Mix 93 or higher into your tank to bring up your octane level, if you're so worried. Mixing premium with regular is better than running on regular. Lastly, mixing gas doesn't do anything to harm it. If that were the case, then every time you get gas, you're mixing different gas and that'd be bad.

There's a really good chance I can at least come out there, that's the last day of spring break, so I should be free. Maybe I will even have some wheels by then to drift on, or I can at least come watch.

Ok here's the solution to your problem...

You give me the Z and you keep driving your civic.

Sounds good as I type it out anyway.

Are you busy this Thursday? I might need to check out something before I leave for vacation. Either way, let me know and I'll PM you to ask you for some information.
