i have run all the various MB vergassers on E10 regular since it became
available over 40 years ago. 220Sb (M180), 230TE (M121), 300TE (M103),
E320(M104) and 380SL (M116). No problems, no pinging. They are so
proud of their spremium around here i quit looking at prices or
considering it since they took the lead out about 40 years ago. It is
usually $.50 to $1 higher than E10 regular.

I’ve heard this and I’ve heard that there’s a risk of damaging the
catalyst, but for the life of me I’ve never found anything that
clearly states this. Certainly there could be damage if you were
driving the car hard and there was a lot of detonation, but as others
have stated, the engine management system is going to make sure the
timing and spark are correct for the burn.
