sometimes it will trigger the knock sensor, triggering the check engine light. use high octane only.

95% of time it won't trigger KS. ur car will just run like sh*t and killing your engine invisibly.

stop being cheap 2-3 bucks extra for full tank won't kill you, but it might kill your sensors and your motor. Check the CEL maybe your O2 sensors and KS sensor crapped on you already.
