All true, but in answer to the question, using regular will not harm the engine...as rob sez, it will just reduce your mpg and power, as the computer adjusts to the lower octane.

I asked the vey same question when I picked up my Smart last year. I was told I could use Regular if I desired but it would most importantly create a build up of carbon and lose as you say MPGand over all performance All in all since it is a small high performance engine why risk damage to the engine to save what at best $3.20 a fill up! I was also informed that I should buy Sunnoco Fuel since I buy Mobil. They told me Sunnoco is a better fuel compared to all the others. Problem is where I live tough to find a Sunnoco station. All in all I can't complain at 46 MPG in the city even though they say I can increase my MPG with Sunnoco.

If you are looking to buy a smart car, check out Ebay. There are smart cars on there that are 08' and 09' and only have 2k miles on them. They are selling for half the price of new. Even the cabrio's.
