Silesians in Opole region, Masurians in East Prussia were not foreing implants - their ancestors lived in their respective areas for centuries and they retained their language (one can argue if it was actually Polish in case of Silesians) in spite of the pressure for germanization since at least the middle of 18th century

"sukienkę" is the same as "torebkę" - it's accusative - which doesen't make sense since you would probably agree that "czasu" as in "potrzebuję czasu" is not accusative but genetive - which doestn't make sense unless you insist on a new case for Polish nouns that sometimes looks like the accusative and sometimes as genetive

the thing is we don't know what E10 and Super are - we are used to octane numbering here in Poland (for example 95 and 98 are 95 and 98 octane gasoline) -
the 98 octane gas costs less than 7 pln at most stations - and 95 is cheaper (the more octanes the better)

it doesn't make sense from the grammatical point of view (unless you want a new case in declination of Polish nouns : if you say: "potrzebuję torebkę" then according to Polish grammar you should also say "potrzebuję czas" instead of "potrzebuję czasu" - which I doubt you do)
