Fuel Question

Hello guys,

Typically I fuel my 2009 C350 at Shell stations only with 93 Octane that contains ethanol. Recently a few stations have popped up that are brand new that are supposedly selling Ethanol free gas. One being a Sunoco and another one a CEFCO I believe. I picked up some non-ethanol gas from the Sunoco for some small engines that I have but I have not tested it yet to see if it is indeed ethanol free like they advertise. The kit actually comes in tomorrow. More or less my question is do you guys recommend name brand Shell fuels that contain ethanol vs. one of these places that might have ethanol free gas? I do not know much about CEFCO but I know Sunoco is a somewhat popular brand. Typically I would I would try be all for ethanol free gas but I am having a hard time trusting either of these places, at least until I actually test some of their fuels.

Sunoco is a Top Tier brand.. I would have no issues using their fuel.

So is Shell..
