All grades of gas burn just as clean, so you won't damage or dirty your engine with any particular grade. b. Premium will probably give you slightly higher mileage and more power than regular. You will not damage your engine with regular since the knock sensor will cause the engine to adjust on the fly to compensate for the lower octane . You will lose some horsepower. Try a couple of tankfulls and see if you think it matters. You'd notice it most when accelerating onto a highway, particularly when going uphill to do it. Bob
