didnt mean to bust your chops It's my understanding that 4Matics don't take E85.

The website and the sales brochure both state that E85 will only work on C300 vehicles with RWD and AT.

Yes, I've put E85 in mine before. Worked fine, but I not going to again cause I'm big on calculating my MPG, and Ethanol really messes up your MPG.

Does anyone know why this is? I understand that only the 3.0 engine is designed for this fuel, but why does the transmission and/or drive configuation matter?
