which gas brand do you guys use?
I know that there are many post about it but i actually did not find any recent one about it. I bought my 2011 c300 a month a go and pretty much I have been fueling with Mobil 93 octane as here in NY you can really find it at every corner, just last filling up I used Sunoco 93 and I think it actually runs better then mobil, although I didnt find it on the top tier gas website, when I was in Italy I used to drive a diesel car and I always used shell and nothing else which I actually want to use next time of course with the v-power.... what do you feed your c300 with??

for me its always for the most part BP gas for both of my cars and bike. octane 93 or high if available. unless they have e85 for my c300. if im running pretty low then its whatever station comes first or will fill otherwise BP.

Consistently Costco Premium....Top Tier with strong detergent package....great results, and the rate of flow at Costco, combined with the relative recency of their in-ground fuel tanks augers well for clean, uncontaminated (by ground water leakage) fuel.

I usually fill up on BP or Chevron. I rarely tend to use Shell. I have noticed that shell burns really fast. I think there gas is on the higher side of ethanol chart.

Same here and usually 20 cents a gallon cheaper. I do love the Gas Buddy App.

Just to be clear, premium only refers to the octane rating....it has nothing to do with the detergent package in the fuel. It may be advisable to find the cheapest premium you can find among Top Tier listed brands to ensure longer engine life with cleaner internal operation. That is likely Costco, but others may be competing in your area. See link in post #9 above.

Shell, BP, Costco
In that order of preference, but as of the past 2 months been using BP since some stations have lower price like Costco.
Shell 3.77, BP 3.51-3.55, Costco 3.50 currently in NJ
I live in NYC, but drive to NJ to shop at the malls, trader joes/whole foods, visit fam but also everything else seems better price (car wash, gas, etc).

[QUOTE=JPc300;6151688]At least that's what I have noticed in my car. It could be the shell gas down here is watered down.
