I have a 2010 toyota corolla Le . Can I put premium gas in it without it running funny or messing it up?

Yes you can use premium gas, but unless the car's engine control system is designed to take advantage of the higher octane it's a waste of money.

You can put the octane level recommended for your car or higher.  The higher the octane, the higher the price for the gas.

At the same time, it is wasted money since your car probably can't take advantage of the higher octane.

You will actually get worse gas mileage running premium in a Corolla, and you really won’t get any difference in performance either. The only reason you would want to do that is gas companies sometimes put better detergents in the premium fuel.
