I run premium because it's recommended by MB.
No fuel-related problems yet, but that may not have anything to do with octane quality.
If ever I do have a fuel-related issue, at least it's a parameter I can rule out.
Many on this forum used regular (81-85) and have had good results.
Higher octane fuels have a higher "flash point" i.e., needs higher temps in order to ignite. So there is less of an issue with problems such as "pre-ignition" or detonation.
But if you start hearing pinging under load conditions, then you do need to bump up the octane choice.
