I foolishly put a bottle of octance booster into my gas tank when it only had a quarter tank of gas in it. After driving for about 20 miles or so, the car started to sputter when pushing on the gas and when I come to a stop shakes alots. I immediately filled up the gas tank and have drove it around for about 5 to 10 miles. I'm curious if continue to drive will the additive be flushed out and the car will return to normal or is it something more serious.

Thank you

You'll be alright your car is enginered to run well on 87 octane. If you want to do some good for your fuel system get a bottle of Techtron by Chevron add that to a full tank. Will help performance and milage.
