Hey every1.. I'm jus wondering what damage would the regular 87 petrol do to our car?
My dumba$$ sister (she's just 17 and barely knows anything abt automobile) went to fill up the tank with Shell regular 87. I was so pissed with her when she told me about it.
Would it do any harm to the engine ?

No damage done. The engine (ECU) can compensate for the lower octane.
