What do you do if you put the wrong fuel in your car and what happens to the car high grade fuel in a mid grade fuel car?
== == 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. If you want to know about using the wrong kind of fuel - in the case of a gas or petrol engine putting diesel in its fuel tank, or putting gas or petrol in a vehicle that has a diesel engine - see the answer to the Related Questionshown below.

What gas to use in lincoln ls?
premium/super 91+... LS does have the knock sensor, so it should run on the lower grade, but I had fuel attendant put me full tank of regular and my car ran like a farm tractor... if your car is knocking on Super, buy a can of Seafoam fuel additive, add 1 can per full tank for 4-5 fuelings... it should solve the issue...
