Common sense would be to read the Owner's Manual, already quoted above.
It is the result of much engineering design and testing. If the engineers who designed the system had believed that a higher octane was mandatory, they would have specified that it as the only grade of fuel to be used.
Almost all Ford vehicles are designed to run just fine on regular pump grade fuel. There are only a few vehicles for which premium only is required and the Contour SVT certainly isn't one of them.
