The gas stations(the ones open anyway) only have premium gas, but the manual for my car says use regular only.

There are very few gas stations open, and they are running out of premium gas too. Lines are super super long.
My gas light is on.

Would I damage my engine if I use premium this time only?

Yes you can, with no problem except the damage to your wallet. If premium isn't recommended or required for your car, there is no advantage to using it. In case you were wondering, you can mix premium and regular when that becomes available.

I've been driving for 30 years, and more importantly putting gas in the car for that time, and only learned that little tidbit a year ago. It hadn't occurred to me prior to that.

Putting premium gas in a car that takes regular won't harm it.

However, putting regular gas in a car that takes premium can and, over time, will likely harm it.

The only difference between gasoline grades is the additives put into the gasoline, otherwise it is gasoline. You cannot obviously use gasoline in a diesel engine and vice versa but premium gasoline will not harm your engine no matter how long you use it.

Buying regular gas car with lower MPG vs premium gas car with higher MPG? | Yahoo Answers

Figure it this way: you're lucky to get 16 mpg out of the Nissan truck, and you should be able to manage an easy 25 with the Mini. The Mini therefore uses around 36 percent less fuel; so long as the difference between premium and regular is less than 36 percent, the numbers favor the Mini. Prices, of course, are subject to change.
