I told her she needs to use Premium from now on.

She wants to know if she done any damage to her engine? She says it's sluggish.
I'd double check the owners manual to see if it actually needs premium. I checked a cadillac forum and it looks like 87 (regular) is actually the recommended octane for that car. As for feeling sluggish, it's an old and slow car. 0-60 is like nine seconds so relative to almost any modern car it will feel very slow.
