You may get some spark knock. Mercedes has a bulletin found in ALLDATAdiy that explains what fuel can and can't be used.

Sure use regular, but your car will not be mint any longer.
Eventually it will cost you.
You either pay a little more now or pay a whole lot more later!

Gas mileage and power will go to **** on Regular. It isn't worth it by any stretch of the imagination.
