Too bad that MB didnt put a bigger filler opening to take the bigger nozzles, most truck stops offers better pricing and availablity. car gas dealership put a premium pricing on its diesel.
That is what I have seen on a trip in the US North East this summer. Has anyone modify the fuel opening port? I have been thinking about it as I cannot use my own truck rig fuel thank without a mess as the filler nozzle wont fit all the way in.

I wasn't trying to directly compare the Yukon Hybrid to the GL 320 since they are different in so many ways. What I was trying to say (and it seems in a poor way) is that if could have picked up a 4WD Yukon Hybrid for a little over $41K I might have done it over my diesel GL that I paid almost $68K for back when they were the hottest thing out. You can buy a lot of gas with $27K!

I had to put in ULSD out of a big nozzle in mine, and it works, but only at half speed, and you have to hold it there. There is an outer ring in the fuel filler assembly that mates up with the big nozzle.
