Do you think I'll have any problems from it?

Siphon out the remaining gas and filler up with 93, that is, unless you already burned through the full tank.

Automatic, AC, Leather Seating, 6 CD Changer, Monsoon sound, XM radio, Sport Metallic Pedals, did I mention Automatic.

Since my better half doesn't drive stick ... tis better to get an automatic GXP than no GXP at all.
