93 Octane fuel, and keep it rubber-side down...

Why do you feel it needs a fuel additive exactly?

I will only use Chevron Techron Concentrate in mine. Not the ProGard so be careful. MB sells one that is also approved and your dealer can get it. It's called BASF Keropur and the order number is: A 000 989 25 45 12. I have tried that too and I'm sure it's fine.

Unless you are using cheap no-name gas or the car sits for months at a time, you don't need anything on a regular basis.

Please use these top tier products. US gasoline is not great. A shot of Techron Concentrate once every 6 months to a year is belt & bracers.
