I hadn't started my car in 2+years with a quarter tank in it. I put 5 gallons of premium in the tank just to get some fresh gas with the old and it started and ran fine. Just had to crank it a while and pump the pedal a bit.

yea im just going to try and siphon it....just to see if i can get anything. I figure even a slight amount would help a tad. But yea, I'm just going to get like 3-4 gallons of some premium and see if it'll fire. I think it will. I let you guys know how it goes tomorrow. Thanks again for the replies.
