Will this have caused any damage to my engine? I think I read some were that the oxygen sensor could be damaged. please let me know. Thanks
It shouldn't be problem. The owner's manual states that you can run low octane in the event of an emergency but not for extended periods of time.
If I was in the same situation, I would put enough fuel to get myself to the nearest place that had some super. Then I would fill it up.
Also, you could buy some octane booster and keep it in the car for emergencies.
I try to get 93 octane from Shell or Chevron. The car seems to run the best on it. Whenever I put something else in it, I notice the performance drop.
