I'm sure it idles just fine and might even drive around in traffic OK. But fuel economy will be dismal, and the engine's full performance will be unavailable.

There is no such thing. Gasoline is a commodity. As long as the station doesn't have water or contamination in their underground tanks it is essentially all the same. The best thing you can do is use different brands because the additive packages tend to be antagonistic from brand to brand so your engine will have fewer deposits if you vary where you buy your gas.
