Premium and regular are both unleaded. Premium has higher octane levels than regular, which can increase performance.
Diesel is leaded and has very low octane levels compared to unleaded.

You can step up but not down.
Actually you are wasting money buying Extra (super) unleaded fuel when regular unleaded does the job.
If regular unleaded causes "pinging" of the valves then stick with
higher octane.
But its ok if you don't mind tossing out the dough if you stick with
super.
Many people do that anyway.
