Mixing different octane...
About to finish re-installing my turbo tommorow but I still have a 1/4 tank of 87 gas. Should I just use up the rest of the 87 then fill up with 91 or will mixing it be fine?

Add some paint thinner to it 
I just read on the Supra board that it actually works...The toulene in the paint thinner does the trick, kinda funny.
Don't really do it though, I strongly suggest mixing some higher octane in there, or just run REALLY low boost for right now...You shouldn't be mashin' on your car right off the bat anyways though, give it some TLC first for any leaks, funny noises, etc.

i mix 91 and 100 all the time to get 93, or 94.
