Considering a MB B200. They say it needs premium gas (91 octane). Do I really? What are the implications if I use regular (89 octane)?

Yes.... if you don't you can void the warranty as well as cause problems with the intake system. Injectors etc.....

Yes that is for best performance but you can run 89 oct, the engine will adjust timing for the lower octane/... However not recommend over a prolonged use 6 months or more, damage can occur to the exhaust and turbo system if it is included

it won't harm the vehicle to run with a mixture, besides the shown fact that it quite is pointless. ninety 5% of autos will burn 87 Octane. If the sprint says "Unleaded gas in easy terms" then it is going to call for 87 Octane. the different 5% will say "top rate Unleaded in easy terms". those autos can run on 87 Octane, however the onboard computing gadget will sense the decrease octane and dial down the engine output as a effect. I had a Lincoln Mark VIII. when I ran unleaded in easy terms we dynotested it and it got here returned at 260 HP, 20 HP under rated. as quickly as we dynotested it returned with top rate, we've been given 285 HP, that's 5 HP larger than rated. the guy that stated the vehicle will end working precise does no longer recognize what he's speaking approximately.

I have to run premium in my jeep. mainly for the computor settings for performance. now i do run regular in it but i wouldnt dare run it in the warmer months. the cooler months i am ok with it. i also will add some octane boost every now and then

You just won't make full power. When the knock sensor detects the detonation of the cheap gas, it'll change the timing of the engine. And if the sensor goes bad, then it'll knock or ping like a son of a gun.

First.. I have no idea what a MB B200 means.. You did not state what type of car you drive and that would have helped. Generally speaking. I am NOT a fan of top premium(or whatever it is called) being used

always go with the manufacture engineers reccomendation.they built and test their vehicles so they know what going on. using the wrong octane can damage your engine.

More than likely you don't need it. The only cars that reallly need to have it are old muscle cars.

Bad performance, less pick up!
