OOPS! I guess since I am driving a 2007 I forgot what year it is.

I thought M-B was going to release the BlueTec on 10-15-06

You may be right. They were released to the press a few weeks ago. There was much concern about getting the correct fuel.

BlueTec comes out in November, today is when Ultra-low sulfur Diesel (ULSD) becomes the EPA required Diesel standard for on-road diesels.

California is the only state that requires ALL highway diesel sales to be ULSD at this time. All other states allow the retailer to choose whether to offer ULSD. They will not be forced to stop selling the old 500 ppm fuel until 12-01-10.

Here is a link to explain this in more detail:http://www.clean-diesel.org/highway.html

This is theory.

In practice, most nontruckstop stations only have one diesel tank.

It will be ULSD.
