Add octane booster from any parts store, should bump your octane to required level.

booster that are supposed to increase octane work like buying interest points on a loan, 1 point = .01 not 1.0
better to wait to refill.

EAT chips require 91 octane, you could use what you can of the 89, then top it off with 93 ...non scientific calculation is:
1/2 tank 89 + 1/2 tank 93=91
It may take some time for the computer to adapt to the EAT chip so I wouldn't hammer it too hard at first.
I just replaced my battery which caused a reset, it may be purely psycho but it seemed like it was a little sluggish for the first 50 miles or so.

Probably fake off ebay, sure hope not.
While we're on the subject, Mark, your table of applicants is a little confusing (maybe to just me) which chip would I buy for the '94 540iA?
