Default switching to base map if e85 isnt available.

Ill be taking a road trip soon and im tuned on e-85 right now with a 3 inch intake. if i come across a gas station that doesnt have e-85 or even premium gas, will it be ok to switch to a base map temporarily until i find decent gas? as long as i keep my foot out of the gas.

Thanks

As long as your base map doesn't command much timing or boost and is calibrated for your 3" intake, and you don't drive the car hard while you're using it, you *can* run 87 octane without any real problems.
