Antidotal evidence.

My son mistakenly filled up a 1999 Mazda 626 with diesel. It went about ten feet and died. We empty the tank as much as we could. Probably had about 2-4 gallons left in it. Filled it up with 93 octane. When it did start it killed every mosquito in 5 counties. Took about 6 tanks of gas to get it running right. Hard starting and smoked. Had to replace one O2 sensor in about 3 weeks whether due to diesel or mileage can't say. I would not try this but of course your mileage may very.
