No it is not a problem but not necessary. You should use exactly what the manufacture recommends. Using a higher octane fuel in a car designed for 87 octane will provide no benefit whatsoever and is a total waste of money. However using a lower octane fuel in a car designed to run on premium will lower the power of the engine and decrease fuel mileage. With todays modern fuel management systems the ECU in the vehicle will make the adjustments for the lower octane fuel. However on an older vehicle designed to run on premium using regular can cause engine damage over time due to pre-detonation or what is comely called pinging. This is real simple, use exactly what the manufacture of your vehicle recommends and you cannot go wrong.

Can you use super premium gasoline instead of premium unleaded in a Mercedes?
Depends... What does you owner's manual say? I currently drive an E-Class 320, and it requires Super Premium (91-92 Octane level). If I even try to use Premium instead of Super Premium, or even worse.... regular.... the sensors in my car know within a few seconds of turning on the car.
What happens if you put wrong type of gas in your car I accidentally put super unleaded instead of regular unleaded gas?
It's not a problem in the slightest. Just drive it. Inside the combustion chamber, regular and premium are effectively indistinguishable since both explode, forcing the pistons down the cylinder. The REAL advantage to "super/premium" is the higher octane rating. A higher octane fuel explodes more slowly or evenly. High compression engines need premium, since the higher compression causes fuel to explode more rapidly. If the fuel explodes too rapidly, the engine "pings", not just making the characteristic sound, but it can also cause damage. Premium fuel eliminates pinging in high compression engines, and delivers the power of those explosions more evenly. High compression engines are not as popular today, since engineers have been able to deliver more power and efficiency with a lower compression engine. Using premium fuel in a modern, low compression engine will only burn a little slower and not damage the engine at all. It's just a waste of money to use premium in a low compression engine.

Can you use super unleaded gas in a car that says use premium only?
Bad idea. Most cars that are Premium Only are designed to take about 92 octane fuel at the lowest. The car will, in fact, run with super unleaded gas but it will create damage to your engine in the long-run. And if low octane gas is used frequently, it can greatly reduce the life of your car.

Is it necessary to use Super gas?
Use exactly the octane fuel that is listed in your owners manual. The use of Premium Fuel in an engine designed to run on Regular is a waste of money and will provide no benefits whatsoever. Not more power and no better mileage. However the use of Regular in an engine designed for Premium will cause Pre-detonation or what is commonly called Pinging. Pinging may cause engine damage so burn Premium fuel if your engine is designed to use it. Some people will swear that burning Premium fuel will increase your mileage and provide more power. This is a myth, that just will not go away and is simply not true. Octane prevents pre-detonation and nothing more. The design of the engine is what produces power not the fuel you use.
