Im from UK, l take it regular gasoline if octane ron 95 & Premium or super unleaded is ron 97 octane level.

You should have no probs at all running on regular, the manufacturers have a deal going to set the ignition timing relative to ron 97 so to recommend the use of 97 octane fuel, although the use of 95 would be so minimal that u would have no probs at all.

Sometimes though if u have a high bhp engine like a skyline etc knocking out 500-1000 BHP u would have to retard the timing slightly to avoid detention problems & pinking.

The same problem arose when they removed leaded petrol, as this was ron 97 & unleaded is 95 but 99% of cars had no probs with the drop inoctane, just the loss of lead to coat the valve seats.

On a 206 u will be sweet as a nut with no probs & no noticable loss in power as the manufacturers would like u to believe.

Also if ur car is made to run on regular ron 95 putting premium in it gives u no extra preformance or mileage increase at all.

BUT premium is 20-40% better grade fuel. Although all fuel has to meet a certain grade anyway.

Over here the difference in price is about 40 cents a litre more for premium so no one uses it except imprezza & evo owners etc

If the 206 is diesel then obviously not, as petrol through a diesel engine will knacker it. Diesel through a petrol engine though isnt so bad it just smokes alot but easily drained & replace with correct fuel.
