Try to dilute the mixture as much as possible. Keep filling the tank with high octance REGULAR gas every 75-100 miles for the next 400 miles. Like the guy said above, I hope you don't foul the plugs. If that is the case, you will need to replace them. I don't know if the fuel injection will complain too.

Not sure what made you think this was a good idea, but i'd stay away from it. Diesel fuel burns at a higher temperature than Gas does, so if you put it into your car you will notice a lack in performance because as it travels thru your fuel lines, it's not going to actually burn as much as foul up the engine. If you are try'ing to save money on gas, then make sure you are keeping up with your cars maintanence, like your oil, tire pressure and things of that nature.

What on earth for? There was a day when a little diesel oil worked as an additive to lubricate valve stems. With the advent of low sulpher diesel and silicone treated valve guides that is not the case. The only result you could get now would be to make your fuel less combustible which would result in higher carbon and create sooty contaminants. Waste of time.

Mixing the diesel with your gas may cause earlier detonation in the cylinders which can lead to knocking and pinging which is bad in the long run.
Interesting article below about using diesel in place of gasoline.

You will foul the spark plugs with this stunt trying to save gas. Don't do it.
