You get a lower gas mileage because it needs more fuel at one time to reach the maximum potential, and it still doesn't have very good performance.

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.

Can unleaded gas be used in a 1966 Ford Mustang?

You can use unleaded in a low compression engine such as the in-line 6 and the 260. But use a high octane unleaded instead of regular unleaded. If however you have the 289, I am not sure on this engine. The 289 HO will require the use of a VSRP additive at each fill up. If your 289 has hardened valve seats and does not require a VSRP additive, you can simply switch to Shell V-Power (98 octane) or Shell Unleaded (95 octane) straight away. If you find that your Mustang tends to run hot then you will need to readjust the fuel/air mixture on the carburetor for the modern unleaded fuel.You can use unleaded in a low compression engine such as the in-line 6 and the 260.

What if i used regular gas instead of premium?

This all depends on the compression of your cars pistons, If you have anything over 10 and you opt. for regular Unleaded you might get pre-ignition in your cylinders which will cause a "PINGING" or "KNOCKING" sound usually high-end cars call for higher octane gas. So unless your car calls for premium fuel stick to regular and save a few bucks.
