I remember, rather well, as no doubt you do, too, what cars would do a few decades ago if you burned too low of a grade of gasoline in them. It was called "dieseling" and consisted of the engine "knocking," alarmingly, even after you turned the ignition off. None of the cars suffered any permanent damage, although they were rather sturdy American cars, with a high tolerance for human error. I haven't heard an engine dieseling in decades, but it's a sound you can never forget. Edit: this website claims that all modern cars will run on 88 octane. No idea, myself. I have never tried anything lower than 89 in Rover. serve.com
