70% of C class Mercedes during 2012 and 2013 have been leased vehicles. Very little motivation there to spend an extra $100/year on good gas for the benefit of some future owner after the lease period.

That's a very selfish action. People like that don't deserve to drive MB.

Unfortunately, that's reality.

Would you put premium fuel in a c300 rental vehicle?

As I have previously worked for a rental car company, the "prestige" C300 always ran like crap because of the fuel.

What I was saying is that basiclly 70% of C class cars are rental vehicles (leased).

As for people not deserving to drive a MB I think you deserve to drive a C class if you can afford the $300 - $400/month lease payment. That would include alot of people such as students and really anyone making over $10/hour (if you make $10/hour the lease payment is 1 weeks pay so not a strech). At the same time you cant expect that these owner will use anything other then Arco Regular gas.

Probably something to think about before you buy a Certified Pre-Owned MB.
