Check your oil level. Anyway, just add some octane booster to the tank and try not to do it again

fuel has nothing to do with this. you'll prolly notice it wont operate as smooth without the proper octanes. preferably you shouldn't do it again. but the car makes up for the lack of octane. but again, not the best thing for your car. like invader said, check your oil level. ludes <3 oil

and it not revving above 7k, it's because you cams didn't shift. you have a problem somewhere with the vtec....oil, sensor, something

I don't know about that.

It's definitely not about the fuel
