Car is driving like $hit

Long story short.

Decided to get gas in NJ because its $0.15 cents per gallon cheaper then here in PA...NJ is full service only..Told the gas attendant to "FILL IT UP, PREMIUM 93". I paid with a credit card. After I drove off I realize that the gas was pretty cheap $60 for a filled tank...Looked at the receipt to see that instead of the $3.91 per gallon that I pulled in for, I got $3.71 per gallon which as I'm sure your already guessing is friggin REGULAR 87! Now the car sounds like $hit at startup...And runs like crap up the RPM's...

Do I need to just wait this tank out? Do I need to get the gas removed from the tank? Anything I need to be worried about here. Damn moron even poked his head in at the end and asked how many cylinders my car had...Damn azzhat...

I KNOW I KNOW...I usually go to the same station ALL the time and the kid there would never make that mistake...But I was at the mall and had the need to fill her up in the next 20 miles and saw some great prices (compared to PA) so I went with it...Should have stood by him and made sure he got it right...Fvck!

Doesn't it even read on the inside of the door...PREMIUM FUEL ONLY...Hello, can you read ENGLISH...

So any suggestions guys? Drive her cautiously and let the fuel run out? Or get this gas pulled asap?

you will feel it in the long run since the gas burns so much slower... And there will be a lot of gunk build up

When you get to half a tank, fill her up with Premium. After this, run it too empty. Then resume full tanks of Premium.
