Ethanol in Gl 450?
I know you are suppose to run premium gas in the GL 450, but was wondering if it is ok to use 10%ethanol from time to time or regular gas from time to time or will it cause damage?

Junior, you really need to learn to read properly and not just what you think should be there.

If you are looking to 'save' a little money, using mid-grade fuel, (89 octane US), will have no ill effects, and I strongly doubt if you'll notice any decrease in performance and/or mileage.
I say this since on a couple of occasions we put 89 octane in my wife's Range Rover Sport S/C and it ran perfectly. In fact I could detect no difference in the way it 'ran' versus premium fuel, and remember it has a forced induction engine.
