== == Automobiles with gas or petrol engines require either regular grade gasoline or super grade. The vehicle's manual will tell you which grade of gas is required. If you fill a vehicle requiring regular fuel with the more expensive super, you are wasting money, as there is no appreciable gain in mileage, engine longevity, etc. However if you put regular fuel into a vehicle requiring super (due to high compression ratio of many sports cars, high-end sedans, etc.) you can cause the engine to knock and cause carbon deposits to build up in the engine. Mid grade can sometimes be used in a mix with super to lower fuel costs, but this is not recommended by automobile manufacturers.

What is the danger of high compression in a spark ignition engine?
If the pressure is too high for the grade of fuel, you will get 'pinking' or 'pinging'. This is the term for pre-ignition. The fuel will explode instead of burning rapidly, and makes a metallic rattling or 'pinking' sound. This can damage the valves and piston crown if left to continue. High compression engines need a better grade of fuel, a higher Octane number.
What is high Grade fuel?
I usually define a HIGH GRADE FUEL the fuel that presents a very good quality in comparison to other similar fuels. It is not an absolute concept but a relative one. For example, talking about fuel gases in general, liquefied petroleum gas and natural gas can be considered high grade fuels, because other fuel gases as coke oven gas, blast furnace gas, landfill gas and producer gas present lower qualities due to particulate matter, tar, moisture and sulphur compounds. Another example, talking about diesel, the diesel 50 (50 ppm of sulphur) is a high grade fuel in comparison with other diesel fuels which present higher sulphur contents.

What happens if you use high octane fuel in a high compression engine?
It runs. High octane is what is required by high compression engines in order to prevent pinging. Unless you put the hi octane fuel in the oil filler. Then it will only briefly run before it explodes.
