Germancar,
Service is already expensive, I thought I read that the GL will have a 32 liter tank of adBlue. What is that going to cost to "top off"? Also, depending on driving conditions the adBlue is "supposed" to last until the next service, but it may not, thus the new warning light.
I stand by my statement that clean enough for 45 states is clean enough for me. I do not believe that CO2 emissions cause global warming.

Go to www.JunkScience.com. The planet's been cooling since 1999, we've lost all of the (I think it was) 7/10-of-1-degree in warming. Also, the founder of The Weather Channel wants to sue Gore for fraud. Interesting stuff.

Heres another interesting read. The Global Warming Folly

Okay, we're kind of getting off topic here, and I hope I am not offending anyone by posting this stuff. But my own education regarding science is that when someone says, "The debate is over," the debate's just begun. And science is accomplished through facts, not "consensus."

No spare tires for BlueTec GL's
BlueTec equiped GL's will have spare tires REPLACED with the AdBlue tank (according to my dealer 3/23/08). One MORE reason 45 state compliant is good enough for me.

We're now supposed to drive around on the highways without a spare? I'm 150 miles from nowhere on I40 and I have a blowout, and no spare?Suddenly the idea of trading up in two years became much less appealing.

"That's right, the standard tire/wheel for the MY2009 GL320 BlueTEC is:
Goodyear Eagle 275/50 R20 109H M+S MOExtended
on 8.5j x 20" 5-spoke alloy rims."
Anyone have these run flat tires and know the range of them in flat mode?

Right now the warning says that under normal load the Run-Flat tire should not be driven more than 50 km (31 mi) when alerted by the TPWS.
