Re: Wrong fuel
If it is a diesel, yes. Otherwise, I shouldn’t think so.
‘Super fuel’ in this context presumably means higher RON 98 or 99 vs 95. It makes it less likely to preignite under compression and heat prior to spark so is less likely to cause knock or super knock. That’s more an issue for small turboed efficient engines anyway.
Kangarooing sounds more like he’s not got the hang of the clutch to me.

Re: Wrong fuel
Agree that after 3 months it’s a problem he should be looking at himself. If the gearbox is full of sawdust then he might want to come back to you...
