the car will run fine.
octane is used to deter detonation, so just fill up the other half with 92-93 octane to offset it some, and drive outta boost til the tanks gone.

Guess no one read the article in the July Sport Compact Car about octane boosters? They do work, some better than others and just not as well as they say. From their tests it shows NOS's booster works the best yielding about 93 octane.
