You drive a turbo'd car and have to ask questions like this? And you let your girl drive it / put gas in it? epic fail waiting to happen

yep. there's your mistake.
but yea, basically everyone ^^^ is right. don't use octane boosters.
If you have a boost controller I'd turn down your boost and take it on the highway.
Keep it out of turbo range and drive it till the gas is gone/low.
Whatever you do just don't put your foot into it. this very well could cause catastrophic detonation
boom.

Re: wrong gas in my car ugh?suggestions
i'm going on the record with this PM from the OP
1) I'm pretty sure that draining @ the FPR isn't a good idea... even if you somehow manage to defy gravity.
2) Siphoning is a total PITA on modern cars. Also... are you sure the hose is even in the tank and not just the filler cap?
3) doesn't the 94 civic have a drain on the drivers side of the tank? (i don't know offhand, just a guess) *edit: CHECK THIS OUT!
4) disregard all above and drive it slooowly. till the gas is gone.
